The technicalities discussed above by you guys remain very interesting ...
But what happens next ? What is it going to take for the RAF to get what it clearly needs ? Does the RAF twiddle it's thumbs until Mil AirBus deliver/give up and adopt an off-the-shelf AAR MPS solution ... what's AirTankers stance ? Are they actively pressing Mil AirBus as the PFI Service Provider ?
It all seems very frustrating and highly inefficient
