And another thing ...

The statement made no mention of the Nimrod R1s. If they are kept, then they would bear the costs of the entire support infrastructure, so hardly economic. Yet there is no decision (AFAIK) on the mooted buy of the RC-135, which itself has its own safety issues.
Another "capability holiday" perhaps?
