Currently on the 45 Sqn ramp are 4 Phenoms all civilian registered G-CJXH, G-CKCU, G-MEPS and G-MEPT. Two have appeared from the hangar in the last 15 minutes.

I tweeted the 45sqd twitter account a while back to ask the same thing, below is the reply.

Is this (The Phenom) replacing the King Airs, or working alongside? @RAFCranwellOps


Mike, it will for the next year or two work along side the King Airs before taking full charge of ME Flying Training.



Cheers

Maybe more activity then?

Did anything replace the Dominies, or will everything be done by the x5 new jets?
MISSING - x1 Air Force.
If found please return to the UK.

The king Airs replaced the jetstreams and dominies, with 45 squadron taking on 55 squadrons role as well. Doesn't seem that long ago the king Airs were coming in to service.
