Been a bit of an open secret that II are gone when they come back from the next Herrick.

However won't it be the 6th after 1, 3, 6, 11, and 29?

5th Frontline, 29 being an OCU. 7th actual squadron including the now disbanded 17 Squadron Typhoon unit.

But could two squadrons maintain requirement for 18 aircraft on FE@R? Seems a big ask, even if they are enlarged to around 20 jets each.
