why XV230 and not any of the other ac in theatre ????
BOI Report, page 2-2, para 3... "The ground crew servicing XV230 in theatre reported that it had been a particularly serviceable aircraft."

XV230 probably had more AAR sorties clocked up than the other jets purely because it was serviceable more than those other jets in theatre, and therefore available for more sorties than those other jets. Also, as CS said above, the other jets in theatre may have been elsewhere doing other jobs that did not require AAR.
