The Written Ministerial Statement of last year (10 March 2016) states "It has been decided ... to recover at least 73 Vikings".

From the Westminster Hall debate on 13 April 2016, the Minister is also quoted in Hansard as stating "It has been decided that at least 73 Viking gliders will be recovered".

So, there is no need to scare the horses.
