who knows anymore?

Hello all.

Whatever MR2's are serviceable (bearing in mind that, over the last few weeks, there has only been 1 serviceable Nimrod, at any time) will be flown as much as possible until the end of March. Around 200 MR2 workers will be re-deployed shortly after, but those that are already in place to work on the MRA4's will stay.

The MRA4's will keep to their existing delivery schedules - the first one is due to be delivered at the end of February.

BAE will need to restructure (yet again) the support solution (it was heavily restructured only a couple of weeks ago). It was already at bare bones levels though.

They are looking to save around £100 million in the first couple of years.

By the way, the R1's are based in Waddington, not Kinloss.
