But on a more significant note...it is nice to see that the discussion on the future prospects of restoring the MPA capability has moved away from the emotions of the MRA4 and, for the time being a least, silly season on the fanciful vehicles.
I have been pessimistic in the past...but never quite at zero percent so to speak. I am more optimistic now (for quite a few reasons, which need not detain us) but I still feel the costs and difficulties are being understated and with the UK "recovery" quite likely to go into a full stall shortly, I'm still hovering about the 50/50, we might, we might not.
but just to be clear - I want it back as much as any of you out there. I just don't indulge in wishful thinking.
