The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Ministry of Defence (Lord Astor of Hever) (Con): There are currently 32 personnel deployed overseas in Maritime Patrol Aircraft roles under the Seedcorn initiative with a further seven on traditional exchange programmes. 115 personnel are currently operating in other flying roles in the UK.
So thats 39 then - 4 crews.

Unless anybody thinks the other fleets will be happy with a major reduction in manpower to spring the 115 (who probably don't all wish to move anyway)
