Reddeath,

That is a sad, spotterish, but useful table.

It has one too many aircraft assigned to Kinloss, (XV226, 228, 229, 231, 232, 235, 236, 240, 241, 244, 248, 250, 252, 254, 255, and 260) presumably it doesn't take account of the most recent loss to the MRA.Mk 4 programme (which has already taken XV227, 233, 234, 242, 243, 245, 247, 251, 253 258 and 284, and which thus needs only one more!) which I'm guessing is XV228.

The number of low-time aircraft taken out of the fleet by the AEW3 programme is quite shocking.

JAFO,
Taxpayer and nosey parker mate. Just wanted to get my head around the subject having been puzzled by reports of a 23 aircraft fleet. Happy to know that it's 19, as I'd have guesstimated 'about 20'.
