Strategic Defence Spending Review confirmed
So there you have it, official, MRA4 binned because it was more important to save £200 mil a year. Of course, he has admitted that it won't be a saving of £200mil a year because it didn't include the cancellation and disposal costs (still being worked out) and it certainly doesn't include the additional costs of the capability replacement he appears to be alluding to. So I'm guessing the final bill is likely to exceed that which would have been incured by taking the aircraft into service. I'm so glad this lot aren't in charge of my household finances.
