Iraq: Helicopters

Question
asked Her Majesty's Government:What category of damage the two United Kingdom Puma helicopters sustained in the collision north of Baghdad on 15 April; and when each is expected to be available again for operations.
Answer

The two Royal Air Force Puma helicopters that collided north of Baghdad on 15 April are in the process of being transported back to the United Kingdom. A formal assessment of the damage sustained to both aircraft will then be made following their arrival at MoD Boscombe Down. I will write to the noble Lord once this assessment has been undertaken and place a copy of my letter in the Library of the House.
