Whether it's just a sign that some of the airframes are starting to get tired or is a result of being worked harder during an exercise, some of the aircraft participating in this deployment do appeared to have been visited by more than their fair share of faults and glitches.

Needless to say, the usual thanks to everyone who has posted photographs and updates to the daily movements threads.
