Nimrod Aircraft
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Defence pursuant to his statement of 15 December 2009, Official Report, column 801, on the future defence programme, how his Department plans to fill the requirement for long-range rescue and maritime reconnaissance after the planned withdrawal of Nimrod.
- Answer
-
The introduction of the MRA4 will bring a substantially more capable aircraft than the MR2 into the RAF's fleet. In the period of transition until the MRA4 enters service we intend to use other assets, as available, in the long-range search and rescue and maritime reconnaissance roles. We cannot comment on actual capability levels as this is classified information.
