§ Dr. ReidExercise Miscast took place at Swynnerton in November 1992. The exercise tested the procedures in place for responding to an accident caused by a civil light aircraft crashing onto a vehicle carrying nuclear weapons. A classified report on the exercise does exist, but I am withholding it under Exemption 2 of the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information.
