- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they propose to proceed with the purchase of the Rivet Joint aircraft.
- Answer
-
The decision by the previous Government to buy three Rivet Joint aircraft was confirmed by the strategic defence and security review and this remains our intention. Until these aircraft enter service, Royal Air Force crews will train and deploy on United States Air Force Rivet Joint aircraft. Joint training began in January 2011.
