As a Raytheon employee at Waddington this will result in my redundancy and around 100 of my colleagues. Whilst I am sad this is the case I think most of us are not shocked! The Sentinel has been constantly deployed on Ops for the last 12 years and over that time has been underfunded hence the obsolescence . The Airframes are good for another 15 years so I wouldn't be surprised if they get sold on, upgraded and carry on flying. Oh well time to dust off that CV
