Two Typhoons had briefed them on the ground that they would work with [an aircraft carrier] before working in the D809 complex. They were advised by the Ground controller to free-call [the Lossiemouth Approach ICF] when ready to manoeuvre in the Moray Bowl. However, when in the vicinity of HMR X- Ray, one aircraft adopted a Swanwick(Mil) squawk and the other maintained 7001 while they were working in the vicinity of D809, mostly at low-level. Between 1020 and 1030Z, Lossiemouth Approach was controlling a rotary on HMR X-Ray at 4000ft, Orkney RPS 1013, under a Traffic Service. The Typhoons were seen to move and operate NE of Lossiemouth by about 15nm at approximately 6000ft before turning to head NE, almost directly at the helicopter.

This has been considered as a request for information in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). I can confirm that the MOD does hold some of the information within the scope of your request. I will answer each of your questions in turn: 1. How much money was saved through disbandment? I cannot provide a total savings figure relating only to the disbandment of XIII and 14 Squadrons because the decision was taken as part of the wider savings measures under the overarching Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) therefore the information requested is not held. 2. Current location of the aircraft? The aircraft have been re-distributed, in line with fleet management requirements, between other squadrons at both RAF Marham and RAF Lossiemouth, as listed in the tables below: XIII Squadron Aircraft Number on Aircraft Current Location Disbandment ZA400 TEF - RAF Lossiemouth ZA551 IX(B) Sqn - RAF Marham ZA587 II(AC) Sqn - RAF Marham XV(R) Sqn - RAF ZA588 Lossiemouth 12(B) Sqn - RAF ZD707 Lossiemouth 12(B) Sqn - RAF ZG712 Lossiemouth ZG713 TEF - RAF Lossiemouth XV(R) Sqn - RAF ZG752 Lossiemouth ZG791 CMU - RAF Marham Aircraft Number on Aircraft Current Location Disbandment ZA367 RTP - RAF Leeming 12(B) Sqn - RAF ZA372 Lossiemouth ZA591 CMU - RAF Marham ZA607 31 Sqn - RAF Marham ZD843 31 Sqn - RAF Marham 12(B) Sqn - RAF ZD847 Lossiemouth ZD851 TEF - RAF Lossiemouth ZD895 IX(B) Sqn - RAF Marham XV(R) Sqn - RAF ZG709 Lossiemouth 3.
