I'll go through the rest of your diatribe if I can be bothered sometime, but suffice to say the 330K's ability to do BZN-MPA nonstop and the number of standard containers it would bring along and the fact that they wouldn't be relieving BA of some used 763ERs as would have happened in the old days has a lot more to do with it than "politics". Search mil forum (username BEagle) if you want more.
Ask the Australians, who because they won't be messing around with a stupid PFI will be taking delivery of their 330Ks before RAF despite beginning their process after them.
By the way, after re-heat's post I couldn't help myself - do you own a time machine of some sort?
