Whether they are planning to give evidence to the new inquiry initiated by the Government of Norway into the circumstances surrounding the crash of the Wideroe Airlines Twin Otter mail and passenger plane at Mehamn, Norway, on 11 March 1982, in view of witnesses' reports that Royal Air Force Harriers were seen on a flight path close to the crashed aircraft.
