Mr. Foulkes
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if any Royal Navy Sea Harrier pilots are currently qualified to fly overland at less than 250 ft; and what consideration has been given to requesting Sea Harrier participation in flag exercises in north America.
Mr. Neubert
It is not our policy to disclose the operational capabilities of Royal Navy pilots. I can say however that the Royal Navy does not participate in the flag exercises held in north America, as these are designed to train pilots in roles not normally assumed by the Royal Navy.
