Anybody know how long the detachment is for, and therefore what date they are leaving?

[viscount]

Sorry, thought I included that information in the OP of the thread, by clearly omitted to do so! The Swiss detachment depart RAF Valley on Friday, August 7th, so the detachment/exchange is for one week.

There is a rumour/suggestion that the RAF maybe evaluating the PC-21 a/c for future reference.

Cheers
