Looks like RAF 2020 will have a unique AT capability then.....ie none!!! Tragic as the loss of GR9, MRA4 and Sentinel (and much fewer Tiffies, Tonkas and Daves let us not forget) wil be.....the demise of the Albert will probably have more day to day effect than most of these losses. Still there must be someone in the wings (aka Freddie Laker lookilike) with some cash who could set up a good rent-a-truckie service using what will still be a young fleet to fill the inevitable UOR thats gonna appear when we get into the next war X000 miles away - and that incudes anything going on down South where you always need at least twice as many given the distance....now there's a thought ...lots of bright orange "Easy-Fats".....mmmm where's my bank manager.....

As for A400........there's another fine mess TB got us into.......
