Now there is a common sense statement....

We need to buy another 2 'J's a year for the next 10 years to cover for the retirement of the 'K'.
(Gawd bless it for all its work in the last 40 years).
Hell, we might even be able to afford it if we dump 20 typhoo..s

And the wait for the A400 (& MRTT etc) will undoubtedly go on!!!
