UK QRA and MPA QRA
3 or 4 Sqns of Typhoon and 1 OCU. Total active airframes c. 65 of 105 long term (Tranche 2/Tranche 3a) fleet. Tranche 3b dead. AMRAAM sufficient, Meteor integration completed but procured to stores if the contract is tight enough to make it more expensive to bin than to procure. Otherwise, stick with AIM-120 and ASRAAM. 2 Sqns + OCU at CGY, 1 or 2 at Kinloss; maintain MPA. Close Leu and Leeming unless A6 hub becomes J6 hub.
I'm not sure I follow the logic of closing Leuchars, which has a HAS complex, and moving the Typhoons to Kinloss?
