Boeing E-3

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what were the total constructive losses to his Department for the reduction in the numbers of the Sentry aircraft fleet in 2012-13.

Answer

The Ministry of Defence Annual Report and Accounts 2013/14 reported a total constructive loss of £64,050,000 resulting from a reduction in the number of Sentry aircraft as an advance notification from 2012/13. This related to a single aircraft, which was subsequently utilised for ground-based training and project purposes. As such, it was deemed to no longer qualify as a constructive loss but as an impairment.
