Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the number of reported near-miss occurrences in the transit area that covers the area from Hucknall in the south, through Mansfield, Chesterfield, Worksop, Sheffield and Rotherham to Barnsley, Doncaster and Finningley, that have involved military and civilian aircraft for the last five years; what are the types of aircraft involved; and what is their nationality.

  • 2. An RAF Buccaneer and a civilian Cessna 152 (1 July 1987).
  • 3. An RAF Tornado and civilian Cessna 152 (27 January 1988).
