Ok....

I think it runs something like this:

"Should MM mention that the SK7 is a complementary capability to those soon(ish) to be offered by ASTOR, the Chief of the Air Staff will be terribly displeased with him.

This is because CAS has a bit of a 'sad' towards the RN, having single-handedly been responsible for the demise of Heron flight, and this suggests that he will defend ASTOR, a completely incapable airframe, over the much superior SK7"

Which doesn't quite accord with what CAS had to say about SK7 when I last heard him mention it, but that was some months ago.
