Re Voyager, as at the end of July 6 had been delivered and they were cleared to refuel both Tornado and (under a temporary emergency clearance) Typhoon. Full clearance for Typhoon was expected shortly. Tristar remains in service until April 14 (one has now replaced the VC10 that was in the Falklands) and I understand a short term extension of the Tristar OSD hasn't been ruled out. Others may have more up to date info. Full Voyager capability with a core of 9 aircraft is due to be declared in May 14.
