ok, im confused whats the plan with RAF sqns

this is how they are at the moment i think

sqn

1 - typhoon
2 - tornado
3 - typhoon
4 - hawk t2
5 - sentinal
6 - typhoon
7 - chinook
8 - E-3
9 - tornado
10 - Voyager
11 - typhoon
12 - tornado
13 - tornado
14 - shaddow
15 - tornado
16 - ?Tutor
17 - typhoon / f35
18 - chinook
19 - DISBANDED
20 - DISBANDED


ok i could and will go on but ive got to my point, unless a more senior sqn stands down and reforms or a 'special sqn' does the same i.e. 617

will 19 become the next operational sqn?

so why did 39sqn take on the reaper should it not have been 19?

Seniority is based on the age of the squadron, the number of years it's been an operationally active flying squadron (and not as reserve) and also if it was originally as a fixed wing squadron.

(For example - 1 Squadron is older than 2 Squadron, but the latter has seniority.)

19 squadron were flying Hawks for 20 years. 39 squadron were operationally active during that time with Canberras.

reaper 39 sqn


so does being a training sqn mean you loose seniority? so in theory older operational sqns could come back
