Just curious, what are the Nimrod 2 crews doing now? Ditto all the support staff?
Given the potentially smaller number of MRA4 crews, who will get those slots and what are they doing now?
I was once in the hold for the AEW3 and subsequently allocated an E3 course; managed to avoid the latter however but still 5 years out of my life; a very enjoyable 5 years I might add with visits to every NATO HQ in Europe thrown in.
