Jeez, I knew those jets were heavy on engineering, but 160 guys for one jet!!??!!??
However, the jobs going at Brize are because the VC10 2nd line engineering is being moved to St Athan, so where that morphed into 'Brize is closing' I don't know. Possibly a few civvies out of a job, but mainly RAF involved, and there's plenty of need for spare engineers around the bazaars!
