The Tucano's lack of immersion suit suitability may have, indirectly, helped to sound the death knell!

Please excuse what may be a stupid question, but is the MoD replacing the Tucano with what is basically the aircraft that "lost" the competition to the Tucano (ie the PC-9)? I seem to recall at the time that the Pilatus was said to be the preferred choice of the RAF: was this really true or just BAe propaganda?
