Hello1,
Totally agree with you and the decision making process on MRA4; wrong at every step, however it kept BWoS in business for 15 years.
My hope for the future is that in 4-5 years time the UK government has enough money to buy some P8's for the UK. I am not a great fan of the P8 but it is the only option now; the UK should have gone for the P7 when the US were looking for a replacement MPA back in the mid-90's.
Probably not worth JJ resigning as that will have no impact with the government at all, however I hope he supports all the guys and girls at KSS as a priority. Knew him for a while on 201. Not surprised he made it to Staish level as even then he was blantant in career aspirations.
