answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/04/2017 answer text <p>The RAF does not routinely give individual aircraft names and there is no formal protocol or regulation regarding the naming of RAF aircraft. However, aircraft are occasionally given names and there is precedent, particularly during World War II, for philanthropic individuals or groups to donate aircraft and they were often given the opportunity to name them.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 20/04/2017 15:10:02 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2017 answer text <p>It is a requirement of the Diplomatic Flight Clearance (DFC) process to state whether an aircraft is carrying any dangerous air cargo and the next destination. However DFC is not required for all military flights. Therefore, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) does not hold a complete record of all military flights wishing to enter UK airspace, its cargo and/or its destination airport.</p><p>In addition, the MOD does not record whether a state aircraft flight has landed, which is a matter for individual airports.</p><p>For UK military flights using Prestwick, the information is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 29/03/2017 15:33:49 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
