Solution
Tucumseh, I am not suggesting thet Bae Systems provide parts free, as the warranty on the T1 fleet is well expired. They have been reluctant to sell the spares, to promote the sales of T2 which now turns out to be no use.
This is just a solution, which is what the SofS instructed the RAF to find.
Some guys went from T1 at Leeming to Typhoon OCU so the T2 is not essential.
The alternative is for RR to say the existing engine is safe to fly. Based on last week, who is going to sign that off?
