Navy Wings/Fly Navy Heritage Trust

The request was partially successful.

Dear Ministry of Defence,

Please can you tell me the following information relating to Navy Wings/Fly Navy Heritage Trust (FNHT) and their operations out of South Dispersal, RNAS Yeovilton:

1. What, if any, charges are levied for the provision of the following: hangarage and office/technical accommodation space in the former Sea Harrier facilities for their assets - Sea Vixen FAW2 (G-CVIX, XP924) and others.

2. If this real estate was required for future military use or a contracted air support provision would it be identified in DIO's Estate Rationalisation work enabling it to be offered up and Navy Wings/FNHT being asked to vacate?

3. What fuel have they uplifted from MoD supplies in 2015 and 2016? Please provide total litres and costs invoiced to Navy Wings/FNHT.

4. What, if any, landing and navigation charges have been invoiced to Navy Wings/FNHT.

5. In relation to the Sea Vixen display pilot, Cdr Hargreaves RNR, how many Hawk Tmk1 hours have been used to keep him current to deem him SQEP whilst being classed as 'on-duty' whilst displaying the aircraft?

6. If Hawk Tmk1 hours were used then which CFS accredited refresher and examination courses/syllabi were used?

7. If Hawk Tmk1 hours were used, how can this be justified at a time of hours reduction across the fleet at the expense of operational training requirements?

Yours faithfully,

Jake Grafton
