Airpolice, the P-8 is equiped to recieve fuel from a flying boom equipped tanker. Not fitted currently to recived via probe and drogue.
I would think bolting a refueling probe to the cockpit roof of the UK P-8's and Rivet Joints would be the way to go (yes I know a bit more is involved). Roof/nose probes have been done for Nimrod, E-3, Tri-Star, Vulcan (and re-done!), C-130, A-400, VC-10, etc.
Not that far of a plumbing run from a new probe to the fuel lines used for the boom recepticle...
