However, he has now come back with some more probing questions concerning
operational matters in connection with our golicing ofUK airspace. ADGEJ is
concerned about the nature oJltS §l! §I I ~ ions and where this may be leading.
After all we have no idea wh -ts:-efparti~ ar concern to ADGE 1 is the
reference to an 'air defence identification zone' because although he believes this
phrase may only be Restricted, it is a NATO term not widely known outside of the
aviation community and we would not wish to start discussing such matters with
members of the public.
ADGE I thinks we will probably have to withhold this information under the Code
because otherwise we would be getting into operational matters. However, he has
asked if could consult MOD Sy about the nature of this correspondence and to see if
they are able to tell us anything about j§d§[IS!"fs4@fng that is his real name).
I would be grateful for yo~nly got this letter today, so we have until
9 August to get a reply to~
