@Rishardtrading@MarkUrban01 Sell to who exactly? You can't just stick a couple of 70k carriers on eBay. Plus, we have seen very poor value for money from recent sales. You cannot secure shipping lanes as you say without carriers.
@MarkUrban01 Airframe numbers are not the true limiting factor currently. It's the shortage of trained personnel - pilots & maintainers, plus spare parts and infrastructure that are driving such poor availability rate.
@FennellJW iPlayer itself as a platform also stands up well against other offerings. The BBC has invested a lot into the technology and has been an innovator from the get go. The fact that they broadcast live programming in 4K makes it essential.
@Gabriel64869839@Jedibeeftrix I understand that of those 42 the 9 were the last remaining complete airframes. The remainder are all engineering frames at cosford.
