There's REALLY no point in going over this all again.
The aeroplane could have been fantastic. We'll never know, so let's just leave it at that. I'm not being niaive by claiming there were no problems; show me a plane that hasn't had in it's infancy.
So, the MRA4 COULD have been a world-beater, but the chance was denied. The whys and wherefores have been covered (ad nauseam) elsewhere on this site.
Have a Merry Xmas.
