Er, NO! Boeing are building 57 737's a month as their best selling aircraft and the US Navy have a commitment to over a hundred P-8's ordered incrementally.
IF the UK wants any more P-8A's then they merely order them through the US FMS system as we ordered the first 9.
Only half right pr00ne, the P-8A production line will cease in 2022 with long lead items meaning last orders in the next 12 months. So if the UK want more yes they can order them through the FMS system quite easily, but that window of opportunity is not far from closing.
