REME Lack of Manning
In 1993 my father, who was at the REME Officer's School at Arborfield at the time, told the senior powers that as the Apache Longbow was as sophisticated as a Tornado F3 then they'd better man the REME AAC LADs to the same level as an RAF F3 Sqn if they wanted the same flying rate. They didn't and therefore no surprise that they now have these problems.
