There was never a contest for Sqn plates, 43 was always staying.
As for Li & Tiffies, I reckon it will be a while before they make a decision. Lets face it, there's no rush! 6 Sqn is a good way off.
Perhaps the option to keep the logistics chain between both Tiffie bases as short as poss may swing it. The GR4 fleet has proven just how costly it can be to have them so far apart.
I'm sure the 56 guys & girls get what they want post stand down.
