That's water under the bridge - right now we don't even have a patrol capacity - any discussion of going back to full on 1990's capability will cause hysterics at No.10 and the Treasury
We don't have enough cash to pay for a lot of things for the next 10 years at least
I'd love to see maybe 4 P-8's ordered but I suspect we'll settle on maybe 8 simple patrol aircraft -.
If the Scots go you can forget those as well
