What a load of old tosh! Methinks you know hee haw about the P-8A program...
Not the way I interpreted his post. I think QBF just repeats previous posts that MoD beancounters will look at any proposal to replace a scrapped replacement that didn't enter service with cynical eyes and awkward questions. Like, Is the P8A a descendant of the P?? considered and rejected in favour of MRA4? You know what they're like. So you now want something you considered inferior 20 years ago?
