The other spares problems come about when the UK station (Marham) that is responsible for the turnround of spares from theatre have an axe to grind about their work load. Between 96-99 the hydraulic bay recieved items into the bay and sat on them to make a point, when the bay at Cottesmore requested the list it consisted of 22 Spoiler valve packages, 28 Spoiler actuators, 8 BASOVs, 6 PRVs, 12 Anti G valves, a couple of undercarriages and a few other sundry items. Cottesmore bay had them shifted across and returned nearly 90% of those assets back into theatre within two months. Marham had sat on them for approximately 6-8 months at a time when the Tornado fleet desperately needed them. What happened to the Cpl and management at Marham for this disgrace, they got promoted, go figure.
