WEBF - genuine questions:
What state would AR be in now? Surely all her major systems removed, certainly anything classified.
How long/how much to refit to an operational capability?
Same for Illustrious (though I imagine less has been done to her).
How long to re-qualify pilots on the GR9? How long to then get deck re-qualified? Day & night. Would they have to wait until the ship was 'ready'?
Not meant to be negative...it would be great to see the GR9 flying again and especially in support of operations. I just wonder how serious this could be with all the difficulty in getting the boat and the jets and the people back up to speed.
