I do hope so and if correct it's a shame this couldn't have been signed, sealed and delivered before the SDSR announcement. Would have saved acres of bandwidth and multiple Harrier/Carrier threads if nothing else! Be interesting to see if it is aircraft (i.e Naval sqns) or just spaces on RAF sqns. Either way it offers a glimmer of hope for FW/FJ FAA.
Now all we need is for your impeccable source to say we are leasing a MPA platform or two and PPRuNe can return to normal and discuss important aviation issues such as weber BBQs, CEA, fitness tests, samsonite suitcases and asthma
