The fact that the MR2 has been grounded for months sealed the fate of MRA4.
Has anyone actually missed it, therefore do we need to replace it?
Playing devil's advocate here btw.
A400M doesn't have that problem as there will always be a need for AT assets, and our current fleet is overworked, to the extreme.
For all those who doubted, we're still going and we're on target for 2013 delivery. Expect to see one at your local "superbase" by 2014, on schedule (albeit the revised, revised, revised schedule.
)
