If Sentinel needs justification I'd prefer that it be reconfigured to fly the Royal Family around on worthwhile worldwide official engagements
And you know very well that's not possible without a complete and extensive de-role and refit of the aircraft costing goodness knows how much. A current Sentinel airframe is not just a standard Global Express airframe anymore, and restoring each airframe as such is probably more expensve than buying a new one.
