Written Question

European Fighter Aircraft

Wednesday 18th November 2015

Asked by: Chris Heaton-Harris (Conservative - Daventry)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many Typhoon aircraft are unable to fly because parts of them have been removed for use in other aircraft.

Answered by Philip Dunne

It is routine practice to move parts between aircraft within the RAF Typhoon fleet to ensure optimum aircraft availability. Four Typhoon aircraft held in the sustainment fleet are currently being used as donor aircraft and consequently are unable to fly.
