Sorry, just playing catch-up; did this question get answered elsewhere?

2 Sqn are in Malaysia at the moment, I'd assume 3 Sqn are home again.

Thanks, thought I'd seen 11 Sqdn but may have glanced that from last year's RAF site or I may have seen II Sqdn? 😁

I think that the 6 a/c used for Magic Carpet have been flown to Malaysia, and that just the personnel have changed.
Could be wrong though . . . .

The ground crew are definitely home Gareth, if the a/c haven't materialised they may well have gone East.

11 Sqn will be the next recipients of the jets for ATLC once 2Sqn are finished in Malaysia
