I heard that as well. Would be nice if this actually materialises...
But there is another, more darker scenario: is the Rolls-Royce Tyne subvariant as fitted to "Guppy" interchangeable with the one that propels the Shorts Belfast?
If so, then it may be that the Canadair was only bought for her Tynes...
After the RAF retired the Belfast, Rolls-Royce apparently acquired XR364 "Pallas", XR366 "Atlas" and XR370 "Ajax" for engine recovery...
