Bastardeux,
I think at this point we get into too intricate a debate over what is and isn't possible. Next we'll be dicussing on here Squadron leave rosters and postings in and out. I'm sure that if the GR4 is to stay a little bit longer, there'll be no problem finding pilots and navs to fly 'em!
I understand there is even a precedence for expanding operational squadron numbers, and at a speed which would give George Osborne suicidal tendencies.
