MR4: 21 to be "converted" from MR2 (new wings and heavily rebuilt fuselages), reduced to 16 in 2004, and eventually reduced to 9 in 2008... with only 5 actually completed. Program started 1992, canceled 2010.
Funny how history starts to give a perspective...nice wee summary there, GK, and plenty accurate enough in the face of BAe/MOD/Government propganda and spin.
Just one thing missing...
Cost to tax payer for 18 years of nothing at all...circa £3.5 Billion.
May I be the first (but by no means the only one) to say...back in '95...I 'kin told you so.
