Scheme A
7.
SECRET
Briefly, Scheme A envisages an RAF element consisting of six pilots, some supervisory technicians and armament tradesmen; a HKAAF element to carry out first line servicing; a second line servicing being undertaken by HAEC (except for armament, weapons, safety equipment or Selective Identification Frequency (SIF)).
8.
The presence of a unit of this type would also require the addition of some support personnel to the Station establishment, and another controller at No 117 SU.

Scheme B
10. This alternative envisages six pilots and a lesser number of RAF supporting personnel. This reduction is made possible because all servicing (bar armaments, weapons, safety equipment and SIF) would be undertaken by HAEC, thus dispensing with a proportion of the RAF supervisory element necessitated by the HKAAF in Scheme A.
