Financial Times • • world
Key Points:
- A private plane linked to Jeffrey Epstein landed at RAF Northolt in March 2013, over four years after his 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor, according to US Department of Justice documents.
- The Ministry of Defence (MoD) faces growing pressure from senior MPs to disclose all information regarding Epstein's use of RAF bases, including Northolt and previously reported RAF Marham in 2000.
- The MoD's record-keeping practices may limit its ability to fully assess Epstein's use of military airfields, as passenger manifests are routinely destroyed after three months and air traffic control records retained for only about two years.
- RAF Northolt's involvement is particularly sensitive due to its use by senior politicians and the King's Flight
