Military Aircraft
Mr. Hancock: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence for what reason the out-of-service date of the Tucano T1 basic training aircraft has been deferred from April 2010 to March 2014. [220531]
Mr. Bob Ainsworth: The out of service date (OSD) for Tucano has been changed to 2014 in order to match the timelines for the replacement programme which is part of the UK Military Flying Training System (UK MFTS). The aircraft is fully capable of providing capability up to and beyond the revised OSD.

Substantive answer from Bob Ainsworth to David Lidington:
I answered a number of Parliamentary Questions you asked about training at RAF Halton on 14 July 2008 (Official Report, column 176W), 15 July 2008 (Official Report, column 312-3W) and 16 July 2008 (Official Report, column 450-1W). At that time information was not available prior to 2003-04 due to technical problems with a computer database. These technical problems have now been resolved and I am able to provide data for some of the missing years.
For ease I have listed below each question and answer with the additional information in italics.
