There are 26 airborne vehicles. The Secretary General might forward that note. While he has read it into the record, it was hard for us to catch all that. Given the fact that the original jet is no longer in commission, what has happened to the people who were involved in piloting and maintaining it? How are those pilots keeping their hours up? In other words, following on from what the Deputy asked a moment ago, are some of the planes flying for no other purpose than for pilots to keep their hours up?
