Except it WAS shut down, and all equipment scrapped. Gone. No more.

The training being done now is being outsourced.

You want to renew the mpa fleet? Then it is going to cost. The RAF has lost its WSOp training capability. There will be no "ramping up". The current output will barely support the current under manned fleets. Be under no illusion, the 55 Sqn output standard of old is going to be a challenge to renew, without significant investment. However, there are good guys on 45 trying their best with what they have.

Having said that, if p8 is an option then the full support package will of course be taken into account. I hope!
