Older readers will perhaps recall that the UK's 'FLA' was originally intended to meet all future large aircraft requirements....

So perhaps it might be time to investigate the feasibility of a maritime version of the A400M? [\Quote]

I think that was discussed on another thread. Seems logical to me, after all a) its the mission kit & the crews that's the important bit of the capability & much of the mission kit must have been designed for the MRA4 programme b) surely its designed to operate at low level some of the time & c) it might lower the unit cost of the A400M if a few more were bought by European Air Force/ Navies
