Tankers are starting to fail and there were barely enough tankers / crews in the first place.
101 were drawing down their frames and crews in anticipation of FSTA and committing to this op has created a big strain on the system.
216 have the Herrick to support and with the C2's on their knees the Sqn have to use their KC's which leaves not a lot left to support Ellemy.
We are reaching tipping point.
GR7/9 off the coast would have saved alot of flying hours for the tankers as you can imagine.
Yes - i know they have gone etc etc but as per the title of the thread, it was a bonkers decision in hindsight.
No tankers, no flyee.
