As I mentioned in #7891 before Op Highmast OC UKLF said personnel from 207 would be part of the deployment. Maybe they are getting much closer to the aircraft availability targets. Given the (im)maturity of UKLF one would expect a high proportion of airframes to be in use by the OCU, so lending 6 to the embarked squadrons to bring them up to their nominal fleets of 12 for a short period doesn't suprise me, nor would embarking additional engineers and technicians from 207 given the shortages. I agree lending the QFIs to fly them may have more short term impact though.
