Try to imagine telling the British Public that having purchased an aircraft as a fighter, we proceeded to order more, justifying the cost by classing said aircraft as being "swing role" but not funding the mods required to make it into one.
With Tornado in action over Libya and using Brimstone, it's only a matter of time until someone twigs.
Twig what? 37 years in with a bit more to do and I am can't recall us ever buying anything that "did exactly what it said on the tin" so why would this revelation cause a ripple with the great unwashed
