What exactly are you looking for??

It's undergoing development. Like any large military project, it will be hugely over priced, late and won't do what the prime contractor says it will do.
What rumors were you looking for?

Whatever mate! It's a fair question! I'm sure there's plenty of goss out there on the project and this my way of soliciting it! Whatever people have to offer.

PLE,

Mate, the only time you want to fly on two engines is when you have loitered 1 and 4 . I hope it enters the world in a more user friendly fashion than the maggot 2Sqn are trying to get flying.

Barking is what they are - Fancy starting with new strengthened Boeing NG airframe - why couldn't they start by modding a 50 year old airframe like the everybody else does?

Dude
With the great minds of the Americans who know better, it will have the capability of a P3C AIP/III but the airframe will be new .
I have a nasty feeling it will be a step backwards in tech and weapon carrying abilities, but it will be a cheap & nasty MMA/MPA.
Guess we will buy it to replace our then
