if the RAF wanted to give priority to their F-35 slots they could short man the Typhoon force for a while.
An interesting question would be how many of their established slots the RN is filling.
Given that the MFTS is acknowledged to be failing - indeed that was the thrust of the evidence session - it sort of seems a given?
The question of how many RN slots are filled would indeed be interesting. Given both OC 207 and 617 were until recently RN, maybe not necessarily an issue?
