Anglicized? The RAF's C-17A fleet proved that unnecessary.

Surely even our brainless idiots will have heard of the farce which was the '50/50 Phantom' F-4K / F-4M? The world's most powerful and slowest F-4 variants which suffered years of Spey problems.

Rather than wasting money buggering about trying to Anglicize the Wedgetail, MoD should be pressing for the acquisition of boom-equipped tankers to support an increasingly large ME fleet which cannot currently refuel from the RAF's Voyagers.
