Yep, and that was after the money had been taken IIRC.
Bottom line is, no matter why there is no funding line to replace VC10 and the mighty big white party bus, there is no funding. To get the capability we need to:
1. Get extra money from treasurey, errrrrrrr unlikely methinks.
2. Offset other funds from the MoD budget to fund it, errrrrr anyone want to give up a coupla billion?
3. Come up with some fantasy, half-arsed way of getting someone to provide it to us.
No matter how difficult 3 is, no one will consider 1 or 2 again unless 3 is proven impossible...
