WEBF,
Are these Harriers breeding or something? I understood there to be about 45 when the SDSR concluded. Since then, there were suddenly 65, now it seems, according to "The Scotsman" there are 90 of them?
Yet at the point of retirement, there was a squadron a piece. Allowing for 12 each, including the OCU, that's 36, with perhaps 2 at Coningsby. This leaves 7 in case they're needed. I'm not that naive, of course, to imagine there are only 45. But to suggest there are as many as the Scotsman claims is getting a little dramatic and carried away with the moment.
