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.

... 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 |
