But a few more EuropHoons for the pointy heads to rush around in going 'bang bang, you're dead' thousands of miles from the nearest war will undoubtedly be sacrosanct. Apart, that is, from the ones going to Saudi Arabia.
How is Nimrod 2000 coming along?
And as for a mere 9 A330 MRTT which have yet to be confirmed....
