The article WEBF refers to is a report of a series of written PQs asked by Shadow Defence Minister, and MP for Pompey South, Stephen Morgan. Looks like Lordflasheart was correct about the £2m.
My understanding was also that the air group composition will be dynamic with assets determined according to the tasks at hand.
I assume WEBF you are speaking from inside knowledge
as SHAPE's current public list of exercises
https://shape.nato.int/nato-exercises doesn't include any Atlantic exercises and MARCOM isn't listing any yet for 2021? I assume a sort of
Northern Civil Partnership, a pale shadow of
Northern Wedding? The PQs would suggest the participant will be HMS QNLZ.
