Is there any chance that some usable wings could be sourced from the scrappy at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in the US?
...or we could be sensible and spend the money on some engineers and spares to service all the other aircraft we have sitting around u/s. We've got enough aircraft to do the job but sadly all our lineys were sacked and our spares sold off when we were subjected to that utter bollocks that is Lean. Consequently half the fleet is sitting around u/s whilst most the line have been DWR'd to run VASS at Basra or some such idiocy......
