Helicopter Flypast National Football Centre 9th October 2012

The request was successful.

Dear Ministry of Defence,

Can you please provide details of the helicopter flypast that tookplace over the National Football Centre at George’s Park at Rangemore near Burton upon Trent.

I would like information regarding planning, authorisation,
justification and full costs of this flight.

Planning: When was the flight planned/requested and by whom?
Authorisation.. i.e whose idea was it? Who authorised this flight and under what justification? Which squadrons and aircraft were involved?

If justified under 'training flight' then give details of skills or training requirements exercised by this fly past.

Please provide full costs including fuel and staffing costs and details of all passengers in the helicopters.

What press notification was given prior to this flypast.. who was to benefit from seeing this flypast?

A video clip of the flypast shows very little interest from those on the ground in the flypast.

What connection does the Defence Helicopter Flying School have with The England Football team?

Yours faithfully,

Kevin Osborne
