Apologies if already posted, but I saw the comment below on another board and was wondering if this referred to our current 4 at 99sqn or if we're looking at going up to 9 in total?
"Flight International two weeks ago said "[Boeing] has ordered long-lead items for 22 [C-17] aircraft beyond the core USAF purchase ... with this number including five aircraft for the UK." The rest of the 22 is made up of 4 for Austrialia, 4 for Canada, a potential 7 attrition aircraft for the USAF, and 2 for Sweden or the Netherlands"
Not seen anything to suggest we were going beyond 4 so would be grateful if someone could confirm or deny?
And before the cry "Journo" rings out, I'm happy to give a DII address via PM...
