It wont get cancelled for one reason.
Governments are spinning up the printing presses. Cash is getting destroyed faster than its being created at the moment. They are going to print a shedload, so why not spend it on projects that will keep their home nation citizens employed? Unfortunately more C-17s and C-130Js doesnt create more british aerospace jobs. A400M does. That Cyclops-eyed commie is going to reinflate like Labour did in the 70s.
Lets face it, in 10 years if we have 25 A400M and a load of C-17s, we will have a 2 fleet hub/spoke AT fleet which supports current ops, future ops and FRES.
