Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the three Westland WS-61 Sea Kings donated to Ukraine are from the UK's stock of that aircraft.
This question was answered on 18th January 2023
The three aircraft transferred or planned to transfer to Ukraine were originally UK Ministry of Defence assets but were purchased by HeliOperations between 2018 and 2019. In response to a Ukranian request for helicopters, they were bought back from HeliOperations for fighting.
