M2
You missed the subtle point where I mentioned MPA not just the old workhorse Nimrod MR2.
But I am sure your combat experience in that one trip will form your opinion for years to come, you may have admired the flexibilty of a manned aircraft that cannot be acheived by a UAV even those with a limited radar capability. I am sure that all the briefs will say how good they were as they can do all these tasks, they want more money and see a pot of money in MRA4 as I am sure do you.
Ask those whom we work with and they ask for MPA over UAVs or even those filled with armchair warriors.
