I wonder if anyone in MoD regrets shutting down our research and development about 15 or so years ago. Or even knows of it. Some of it recommenced recently, but the original scientists were gone, some now employed by near neighbours applying the science in other fields. Not unlike laser wire strike avoidance kit from mid-80s. Same superb people, but others countries benefit.
