answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2019 answer text <p>The E-7 Wedgetail is a military derivative based on the Boeing 737 NG civil aircraft and has always been produced by modifying that aircraft with a sophisticated radar and mission system suite along with other military systems. Wherever the E-7 is produced it involves the modification of the base aircraft and by undertaking this work at Marshall Aerospace and Defence in Cambridge we have ensured that several hundred highly-skilled jobs have been sustained in the United Kingdom.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 17/06/2019 15:42:08 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe
