So will the first aircraft that is 'ready' be sat on the ground until next spring waiting on MAA clearance?
I was at an unclassified presentation the other day that said Airseeker was due to go out of service in 2025. Is this correct, or is it just a planning figure with an inevitable life extension programme to follow? 11 years worth of capability seems a poor return from 6 years of planning and preparation.
That is of course if it has received the clearance to fly by then!
Anyone in the know care to comment?
