A Tornado squadron was grounded at RAF Lossiemouth after a raft of redundancies threatened to jeopardise safety.
Senior personnel said the base faced a “simply unsustainable” situation after the loss of 270 technicians in the MoD’s redundancy programme.
A report revealed that “challenges” at the base combined “to erode engineering standards and practices, threaten airworthiness, and undermine delivery of the levels of flying required”.

As long as senior ranks in Buckinghamshire got promotion out of it it's all fine.
