Mr. Speaker, no, they will not be flying at that time.
I might add, however, that some 23 countries continue to use the Sea King. There are 600 of them in operation, including in the United States, the most sophisticated military power in the world. Recently there was a photograph of the British royal marines, a commando group, standing in front of their Sea King helicopters.
Members should know that the Americans are using a 40 year old B-52 bomber as part of their operation in Afghanistan.
It all goes to prove that it is not so much age as it is how well they are maintained and we maintain them well.
