O-D,
I suggest you go to Benson and talk to the boys and girls about how much resource is available at home; Aircrew , instructors and aircraft to train on. Add to that, support to Ops and you will quickly see how empty the pot is.
I have no doubt the transfer could take place on your timescale, but alas we live in austere times. I have said for some time that this will take a while due to resource shortage. I don't think I will be proved wrong.
