At the risk of being accused of prevarication, there's a long way to go from trialling the concept at A&AEE (or even aboard the vast number of large deck carriers that are available for such trials) to using the idea operationally. As such, I'd prefer to wait until at least a full-scale shipborne trial has successfully taken place before approaching the fragrant Ms Widdecombe with a winning smile, (large) bottle of wine and a couple of paper bags..........

Oh and don't bet on it being anything other than a desperate attempt to achieve the KPPs either - (the RVL that is, not the wine or paper bags!)
