Timmy trouble

An Aging aircraft
flying 'Unusual' operational flight profiles
Unserviceability on one aircraft being serious enough to
Necessitate fleet checks
That find more damage
That Ground all four of the aircraft at Brize
Until we get spares
Which we don't have
Which come from our 'supplier' in Canada
Which takes time on a good day
But much longer when most of the airfields in the UK are shut!

Rest assured that the boys and girls at 216 are doing everything that they can to get the aircraft serviceable especially at this time of year.
