SSSETOWTF; NaB;
Thank-you for a very interesting debate, which I have followed with interest. What impact on parking and sortie rates do we incur by going down the SRVL route? I fully accept that with enough (largely American) cash thrown at it, SRVLs can probably be made to work, but for me the question is one of how much cash and how much capability vs Dave-C does this cost us?
And surely this is the point: even if Dave-B works with SRVLs and all the bells and whistles, it will still carry a smaller warload less far when compared with Dave-C for about the same money. If true, why are we buying Dave-B?
(Note to WEBF: I think that there's more to it than an RAF Bona Mate conspiracy. At least I hope so....)
