HMS Trent: Helicopters
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the outcome was of the recent trial by HMS Trent of the Helicopter Visual Landing Aid System.
- Answer
-
The recent trials of the Helicopter Visual Landing Aid System (HVLAS) onboard HMS Trent was a success. Three days of rigorous testing through day and night landings by a Wildcat Helicopter has shown the technology to be effective. As a result, we plan to fit HMS Spey, another Batch 2 Offshore Patrol Vessel, with HVALS as she enters scheduled refit.
