Hoots,
I sent you a personal email with my email address to send them to if you could.

Would appreciate any pics as we haven't got any with both aircraft side by side yet.

Looking at the piccies of the MRA4 it would appear that every radar on the Eastern seaboard must have seen it coming across the pond... Its massive engine intakes, the numerous dangly bits and protrusions must just give it the largest radar cross section of any "new" military aircraft. An ideal replacement as an ISTAR platform...Not!

Proper Paint Scheme

RAF_Techie

Those pictures were taken in Oct 2004 (I took at least one of them). That was before MRA4 was in it's "proper" paint scheme.

It would be nice to see the two "official" paint schemes together and on the other side of the pond.

No Morse Key

No morse key? You're going to tell me that there's no RPROs either? Please tell me that there is some piece of kit to spill your curry on where there is no chance of cleaning it out?!

RPROs....

Curries?? No galley at the moment

There will be of course for when the aircraft gets to max endurance

Come on Hoots, get those photos sent, or you can send them to me if you like as I was on board as well. I will put them on here for you.
