Cat II/III

Slight diversion perhaps but......

Someone tell me that we are putting a Cat III ILS into the airbase now known as Futurecarterton......or are we really buying a bunch of very capable aircraft but failing to provide the necessary approach aids at their home station:

C130J = Cat II cleared at some point (but not much use for that in Bastion!)
A400M = ? but probably better than Cat I
A330 = Cat III or are we paying extra to have this taken out?
C17 = Cat II if I remeber rightly.
