Wait a minute...

All this talk of centralising assets. I can see why people think it makes sense but just consider a few things.

The Reds jets are maintained by RAF Engineers. 100 Sqn jets are maintained by civilian contractors.

Having the jets sat on the same airfield doesn’t necessarily mean everyone can start to share tools.

I’m not an engineer and don’t pretend to know much about the trade but some people’s idea of ‘simple’ may need rethinking.
