I also wonder if operating 28 aircraft are not enough to cope with the current training scenario, how will it cope in training Ukrainian pilots that Rishi has committed us too?
The French are doing the fast jet element on Alpha Jet: https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidax...h=1104f9632540

The UK is doing language training, ground school and elementary/semi-basic flying training prior to Alpha Jet as per the article.

Fear naught, you can’t pin this Hawk debacle on Rishi Sunak! You need to look back at 2 Jags Prescott who stepped in to ensure that BAe Brough (that subsequently closed!) could get the contract for T2 to buy more votes in Humberside. We should have bought the M346 instead!
