All though not unexpected, its nice to have some good news. I was expecting the doom-mongers and naysayers to have been all over this. :E

I was running a one man buzzword bingo on:

Where are they going to get the trained pilots - UKMFTS is an omnishambles, they're all in long holding posts years from OCU etc.
Tranche 1 blah, Tranche 2 blah, Tranche 3a blah ,Tranche 3b blah, AESA blah.
Will they still exist / be required post Cummings and the Integrated review.
