Whatever happens, it's only right that somebody from either MoD, Govt or the RAF starts to make a definite plan for it's loss and begins to tell those at Benson exactly where their futures could lie. Stringing them all along whille the clock ticks down to 2015 is grossly unfair on a large, committed group of guys and girls who dragged that aircraft kicking and screaming into 3 theatres and gave it the success it's had. I don't expect this to happen, of course.
