Thanks for the info BP.
The FAA site doesn't mention anything about state aircraft exemptions though! I have since heard that the P3 does have an exemption from the FAA ruling just wondered if they were as helpful with us, it has been a long time since a none TCAS UK Military aircraft has been over there.

Unfortunately there is no chance of the UK MOD spending the money required to update an ageing airframe such as ours. There are far too many other things that are deemed far more important than TCAS when we have pilots that can look out and our own anti coll mode on radar.
