Indeed they are. They will resume 737 construction for the airlines once these P8s are built. We have to get in with the order as soon as possible or we wont get more than the current amount of 9.
But somehow the whole thing will be thrown out of the pram - little or insufficient staff
no accommodation, no airfield to base them at, and no funds for the extra aeroplanes.
Work it out - because at the current levels of people involved nobody can take any leave, nobody can man the sims, and the R.A.F. cannot sustain people living in Hotels with all the costs that will take. I can see Kinloss reverting to Blue uniforms again.
