Thanks BEagle.

Is the Brit version equipped with a centreline drogue? (Not shown on the photo)

So in true British tradition (miltary and civilian) we are not getting the best aircraft. We get a bean counter option

Surely the best option set up is :

Wing AAR pods - yes
Boom - yes
Able to receive fuel - yes (probe & receptacle)
Centre Line Drogue - yes

That way all "allied" aircraft can be serviced
