Contracts to acquire the additional 38 aircraft needed to modernise the remainder of the UK's fixed-wing military training fleet are likely to be signed in September or early October, programme officials say. Elbit Systems/KBR joint venture Affinity is to provide 23 Grob Aircraft Gl20TPs, 10 Beechcraft T-6Cs and five Embraer Phenom 100s under the UK Military Flying Training System deal, with full capability to be in place by December 2019.
