I'm obviously not current (Waddington 81-83), but we coped with 4 full Vulcan squadrons and all their associated support.
I know there's now a collection of Squadrons/Units (6 badged squadrons, the Stn website says) but they're surely not on the scale of a full-blooded Cold War Vulcan squadron. Or has too much effort been expended in creating a structure to preserve number-plates, with the concomitant manning issues?
