§ Mr. FoulkesTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many collisions have occurred between military aircraft and birds within five miles of the wildfowl and wetlands trust site at Caerlaverock, Dumfries, within the last five years: what species of bird was involved in each452W incident; and what was the altitude at which each collision occurred.
§ Mr. SoamesAlthough my Department's computerised aircraft incident records do include details of all reported birdstrikes by service aircraft, they are not held in a form that would allow easy retrieval, and the information requested could therefore be provided only at disproportionate cost.
