I can only hope that by the time spares come available, the book value of them does not justify fixing them, and they are sent on a long overdue one way trip to Alpha.
Aye hopefully so. Hopefully they can find replacements soon.
Mind I'm not sure why the baby Solos are allocated when the 434 needs them. Absolutely bonkers having them on the 57a while the 434 has a Decker and then even more stupidly the X22 has a Streetlite on a match day.
Not for me to say what should be on what but surely there's some sense needed here...
