When this proceeds, will we see 51 Sqn move to Mildenhall for colocation of type? If i were a betting man i say that you might well indeed
Surely, although the Rivet Joints are not similar in respects to the tactical end and in some cases the engines, i assume the RAF operated RJ's will stay at Waddington as they already have a similar type there being the E-3D Sentry.
I don't think the UK will operate the old RJ's with noisy smokey engines and go more towards the larger turbofan powered RJ's so even more commonality with the E-3D surely?
