When ordering aircraft the RAF try to estimate how many flying hours they will need over the amount of years that they wish the type to be in service. This often works out to be more hours than individual airframes can meet so extra aircraft are bought (this also allows for any attrition) and some are usually left in storage at any one time. By carefully rotating the fleet in and out of store the hours left on the frames can be managed to allow longer use of the type. |
