There was sufficient Fatigue Life left in these 2 airframes to see them to their previous OSD, give or take when their next Major servicing was due. I don't know if DE&S had any serious thoughts of post-Mod 2010 replacements given alternative means of carrying out some of the work (e.g. new Centrifuge).
