Whence will they come?

Not as easy as augmenting a couple of squadrons of Gnats with another of Hunter T7 and GT6 was 50 years ago when the RAF was of a proper size.
That was easier because 3 Sqn merely re-equipped with Hunters owing to a chronic shortage of Gnats, so no new QFI’s involved at all.
