I see that the date for the RN reforming 809 Sqn has slipped again - it is now listed as 2023.

This 5-year slip will mean quite a few of the RN pilots gaining and maintaining experience abroad may never actually serve on an RN squadron. The plan to have overlapping RoS periods between their current exchange type and F-35B conversion now has a rather large hole in it.
