A & C,
Arik Air fly Heathrow - Abuja, Nigeria, in a B738.
The A320/321 family have a 3000+nm range and the NEO versions longer than that.
If Airbus does to the A320/321, what Boeing has done to the B738 to make the P8 Poseidon. Will be interesting.
Whether it is possible to buy some second hand A320/321's and get Marshalls up at Cambridge to convert them, I could not say. At least the equipment that the RAF/RN wants, could be added.
