RAF Tucano's – where are we ?

Hi

I’ve just noted on the Historical Forum that the Disposal Services Agency has flagged that the first batch of Tucano Mk1’s is going to be made ready for disposal.

Forgive my ignorance, but the immediate question is, have Tucano orders stopped, and if so how long ago ?

Also- If these are the first retirements, assuming these are not accident damaged examples, can we assume the likely rate of further retirements, attrition plans, upgrades, orders, or even longer term replacement plans ?
