Forgive me for being an old cynic but that statement by the Chief of Air Staff about the Tempest next Gen Fighter and it being manned or unmanned... Wow, the Chief of the Air Staff has said it will be the last manned fighter with a seat for a pilot... I am sure that Duncan Sands said the same thing about the Lightning back in 1957.... so forget that tosh.
This is all very complex, no point taking one paramedic to the scene of the incident by Jet Pack if you need someone else to hold the other end of the stretcher to get the customer off the mountain .... no point sending in an unmanned air ambulance to pick up an unconcious patient because they are simply not going to get into it... so hey lets send a helicopter with a doctor and a couple of paramedics ready and willing to 'Yomp' to the scene of the need!
