Eeee Mr Beagle, you are absolutely correct. They just don't build em like that any more. The retirement of 558 will be a sad day, and having one in the Cold War exhibition, I see no reason to add to the inventory. If there's fatigue life left in the aircraft, I hope that somehow we can find the money to keep it going. It's certainly more relevant to Britain than the Indian space programme, oh dear, I'm drifting again. Spot on post sir, and well done with the future servicemen and women !
