Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many EH101 aircraft are available for service; and where those aircraft are stationed or embarked.
This question was answered on 14th November 2022
The Royal Navy operates thirty Merlin (EH101) Mk2 aircraft parented at Royal Naval Air Station (RNAS) Culdrose, and twenty-five Merlin Mk4 aircraft parented at RNAS Yeovilton. We do not comment on the number of aircraft embarked at any specific time, as to do so would, or would be likely to, prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces.
