Thanks John,
In order for the USMC to operate the GR9A they would need BAE to become the Release To Service Authority and continue to support the CAP E software wouldn't they?
If so, BAE would need to re-hire the entire Harrier team they've redistributed wouldn't they?
I'm not quite sure why you reacted to the word romantic as you did; my post came after yours but that doesn't mean it was about your post.
