Tornado Aircraft
(asked on 12th January 2016) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the number of Tornado aircraft fully modified and available for operations in relation to the total air fleet.
This question was answered on 15th January 2016
As of 13 January 2016, 48 Tornado aircraft are held in the Forward Available Fleet. This includes aircraft that are held at readiness for contingent operations alongside those deployed on operations
I am withholding the exact number of Tornado aircraft that are available for operations on the grounds of safeguarding national security.
