PQs RE UOR

I understood that the RAF placed a UOR to fit foam to all Hercules aircraft. Not just a select few which is what we have ended up with. I received this answer from Igram the other day.

Hercules Aircraft

Mr. Hancock: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether the RAF has placed an urgent operational requirement for all Hercules aircraft to be fitted with explosive suppressant foam. [117912]

Mr. Ingram: RAF Strike Command raised urgent statements of user requirement for the fitting of explosion suppressant foam to that number of Hercules aircraft required to support current operations. These were all approved as urgent operational requirements.


This answer is not the one I was provided with a few months ago.. If anyone can confirm my original understanding please PM.
