... Is this the last Comet derivative still flying? Unless they're going to be upgrading the R1 Sigint variant then yes it is. Largely a completely new aircraft though. Only the fuselage tube remains from the previous MR2 version. Si

Oh wait, first they need to spend several hundred million pounds each to upgrade all the a/c, then cancel the project so they can use the airframes for fire fighting/battle damage repair trainers.
