Interesting to see what impact this will have, if any?

A good article:
...contract means that employees will be working on a minimum of seven aircraft slots at any time.
...the key impact is...ensuring the longterm future is secure for approximately 500 staff who work on the Hercules...
All seems about right. A minimum of 7 ac stuck at MAe at all times, in order to ensure the key aim of employing 500 people.
We will reap what we sow.
Even MAe think we are mad.

Now let me see if I've got this right.
Given the length of this contract, it must mainly be for the C4/C5s.
The RAF website says that we have 25 of those and that they were new in 1998.
....... and they plan to be working on a minimum of 7 aircraft at a time? That's over 28% of the fleet!

LFFC - It covers both J and K fleets until their respective OSDs. The old K still has some life in her yet although by the end after all the wing transplants etc she will be like 'triggers broom' (you know 6 new heads and 4 new handles but still the same old broom)
