Hope that sorts it out for you.
Er, well it sorts out how you see it TOFO, but I would say that the one stems from the other.
the complete loss of our maritime patrol capability...which previously had been maintained continuously since 1937.
was a direct consequence of a deliberate policy at the highest levels of the RAF High Command to subvert Airworthiness Provision (in the misguided belief that it would thus save money desperately needed to replace that squandered by gross negligence at the highest levels of the RAF Command).
Of course if another misguided attempt to save money by going down the 2000/MRA4 path had not been taken, a new build Scruggs Kipper Mk1 might have fared better, if it had received proper airworthiness provision. But where would that have come from?
