This template is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

Being as the Royal Air Force has had some of its major functions privatised (or operating under Private Finance Initiatives for long-term contracts), I suggest adding a new section for those civilian companies which provide such services to the RAF. The most obvious being AirTanker Services (27 year contract to operate the RAF Voyager multi-role tanker transport), Babcock International (various elements of the elementary flying training and military flying training programmes), and Serco (engineering and support services). Thoughts please. Militum professio scriniarii (talk) 18:12, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
