Gravity Industries Jef Suit Trials
Alexander Tiffin made this Freedom of Information request to Royal Navy This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.
Dear Royal Navy,
On 13th May 2020, Gravity Industries published a video on their YouTube channel purporting tjatbif showed the Royal Navy and Royal Marines carrying out a trial jet suit naval assault, as can be seen here:
Can you please disclose:
• How much has Gravity Industries been paid in relation to jet suit trials and tests by yourselves or the mod?
• How long have you had a business relationship with Gravity Industries?
• Can you please disclose the reports relating to this test.
This is in the public interest and does not pose a national security risk due to the already public nature of the test. It is important that the public can scrutinize how public money is being spent by the mod.
It does not affect planned or current operations as they are not Yet in service.
Yours faithfully,
Alexander Tiffin
