Tourist, I am aware of that but the aircraft are on the military register, housed and maintained at Yeovilton and can have no third party income generation. The difference is that if someone like Eastern Airways or a Biz jet type operator ran them on a call off basis they could fly civvy trips and thus up their utilisation & lower their cost of ownership per flying hour & just be used for MoD tasking when actually required.
