Two's in,
I would love to agree with you on the spares issue but, unfortunately, it's the other way round.
After the AAC tail rotor drive shaft failure all Lynx aircraft were to have their tail rotor drive shafts re-shimmed and aligned. I could not find any shim packs for the tail shafts due to the fact that they were all at Middle Wallop. Same goes for the rotor heads, AAC had priority after a Netherlands Lynx threw a blade during a ground run caused by scratching of the titanium head. My nice rotor head, with more than a few thousand hours left on it became AOG over night. Where did all the new bolted ones go? Correct AAC. Engines, Heads, gearboxes and dog bones (Tie bars) all head MW first.
It's not the AAC's doings its the Navys crap ordering.
Enjoy.
