Thanks for the excellent, most informative.
So, their airships not withstanding, if Colt does go the flying can openers number is safe(as a Typhoon sqn) but 16 (R) 41 and 54 plates might be in trouble. Likewise if a GR4 sqn goes 12 or 31 are most likley to go ( if they drop a recce sqn would that make a difference or would 13 simply re-role?). The Leaping Heap situation has already been explained but haven't all the Typhoon plates already been allocated ruling out 3(F) change of aircraft?
It still seems a right muddle or is it kept deliberatley so?
