'Surely if Air Atlantique and the Ozzies can keep a privately owned Canberra flying each , then the MoD can afford a few bits n pieces to keep at least one of their TT18s flying'?
Being in the loop I can tell you that both a/c have little problem with spares.
BTW both Llanbedr aircraft have fairly low hours, 3,800 hrs in WK128’s case and WH734 with only1,900 hrs.
