biggus,
WSOps are still very much the focus for recruitment. the WSO role is being recruited on a much smaller scale, mainly for GR4.
Rumours at Waddo about the P8 staying south of the border are starting to grow however, they are just rumours! I think we will find out more in the next 18 months or so. There are quite a few WSOs who are keen for the move north but, I'd say that 60-70% of them would prefer to see it at Waddo. The old Kipper fleet guys are trying to relive an old dream imho. Let it go at keep it at the ISTAR Hub!
