So, all dispersed, all operating, early use of CAS dispersal exercise, what's the problem?
pr00ne: the list was of 8 aircraft, there will be a few more at Brize not able to operate.
’What’s the problem?’ Well, the entire AT fleet is at a base which has only a single runway which couldn’t cope with a short spell of hot weather. Such hot spells are likely to be more common in the future thanks to the dreaded climate change. That some of the aircraft had to divert and are now operating out of nearby civil airports (who must be loving the fuel & parking charges) doesn’t mitigate the effect on operations. Sounds like a problem to me.
