Mrtt x 6

The original complement of 707s at 33 sqn was to have been 6 , with four i think in the tanker role... Until we lost one in ESL and then there were 5 from what I remember. So maybe the concept of 6 is not new, and if there are bbj limits I have no doubt that the mrtt might get configured in a pods off, vip fitout at some point if pollies thinkit a good idea.
Need to get the first five from abusmil before we go asking for more output ...
It has been a long time coming but finally the plan appears to be coming together!
