The Forward Fleet comprises serviceable and short term unserviceable aircraft. Typically, the short term unserviceable aircraft are undergoing minor works, forward maintenance or any other unforeseen rectification or technical inspection that can arise on a day-to-day basis. The sustainment fleet includes aircraft undergoing deep maintenance, upgrade programmes or being held in storage. The number of aircraft available varies day-to-day, according to normal fleet management activities. The above figures include Sentinel ZJ693 which was placed in long term storage on 1 April 2017
