Jess It has been known for months and was made public a while back that the fleet will be reduced or the word drawdown to start the introduction of the MRA4.
This just happened to coincide with the target date for the fuel seal replacement programme.... and yes I know its all very coincendental
Just to edit on that last , I laugh at the news right now on Sky.... Nimrod jets grounded for maintenance checks as the headline ?
Nothing like causing a panic
