Thanks for the heads-up on this - interesting.
Surprised that PTFE and Titanium are included in the Hazardous Materials list - I've worked with both and never considered them at all dangerous. Health & Safety again?

Quick question, Is this the current 3 or some that were retried earlier?
Many thanks

It's the three it says in the first post and in the PDF...

I thought all the 125s were retiring this year? There were six, but three for sale, plus one written off due to the Afghan hail damage, leaves two in service.

The two 146s procured under UOR were supposed to be coming into the core fleet to replace the 125s.

Yes I saw the regs in the post and pfd, I was asking if they are the 125's 32 Sqn are currently using or ones that have been wfu?

[BP2324]

ZD620, ZD703 and ZE395 currently on strength with 32 (The Royal) Sqn at Northolt.

ZD621 and ZE396 are the others, with ZD704 stored at either St Athan or Hawarden (I believe) damaged.

Hope that helps / clarify.

And it says in the pdf:
The aircraft are currently being operated by No 32 (The Royal) Sqn at RAF Northolt, West End Road, Ruislip, United Kingdom. HA4 6NG in the Royal or VIP transport and communication roles.
The aircraft are being withdrawn from RAF service with a planned Out of Service Date (OSD) of 31st March 2015 and will have to be removed from RAF Northolt by this date.

Perhaps the other two are being retained for Museum purposes?
