§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what were the dates, aircraft types involved, locations and risk categories of air misses numbers(a) 39/93, (b) 52/93, (c) 56/93, (d) 66/93, (e) 73/93, (f) 82/93, (g) 92/93 and (h) 113/93.
§ Mr. SoamesThere are no air misses with the serial numbers referred to in the question. Air miss serial numbers are not necessarily continuous since an air miss report can subsequently be withdrawn. The decision to file an air miss report rests with the commander of any of the aircraft involved. There are occasionally instances when an air miss report is later withdrawn by the filing pilot when he realises that there had in fact been no risk of collision.
