It’s coming up to five years since the first P-8A Poseidon was delivered to the RAF at Lossiemouth, Scotland. The UK P-8 fleet now totals nine aircraft and is operated by 42, 120 & 201 Squadrons. ZP802/02 “City of Elgin" pictured at Lossiemouth in November 2020.

RAF Poseidon availabilty stands at 5 out of 9 airframes. ZP805 & ZP806, have deployed to Harstad Norway

2 are in the U.S. for MX work - ZP802/ZP803 - leaving ZP807 & ZP809 inactive at Lossiemouth

I see a total of one RAF P-8 flight in the period 02 March - 02 April that went to the Baltic on 04 March.

I did a search for ZP801 through ZP809 - tracks shown are ZP802 through ZP808 - perhaps 801 & 809 were in maintenance.
