The reason for mentioning Tornado digital intake scheduling is because compared to digital radar terrain following, its considerably simpler. No doubt other systems would be analogue, if they were to have been British made, but I was referring to the most demanding one.
Perhaps the RAF would still have reached their target, the cold war deterent role having failed - would their journey have been necessary? Well having already shelled out for Polaris in 1962 perhaps the government of the day didn't think so.
Does that make a bomber deterent a neccessity or a job creation scheme, who can tell? But next time someone suggests cancelling Typhoon, MRA4 or anything else with an element made in Britain on it, I'll bet you the number of jobs lost comes out of the first BAE press release on the subject.
