RAF Poseidon - Not too long to wait?
How are the racked-wingtips anti-iced? They're not - their shape means ice doesn't build-up in the same way as it would with conventional winglets. Not sure I understand your weapon bay question.
Given the frosty meetings between Boris and The Sturgeon and Ruth Davidson yesterday they may be in Cornwall sooner rather than later..............
The RAF may not have an option if Scotland goes independent........................

That was pre Boris - I understand the good people of Scotland (including Ms Davidson) don't like him... can't understand why -

The European Union.
Aaaanyway, b on t, is it an option for any other 737 types to have bleed air derived LE anti ice ??
Looks like the engine is a 7BE,last iteration of the CFM56, before the LEAP. I would guess the engine fan cowl bulge is for additional generator blast cooling ,rather than to accommodate a ‘physically’ larger IDG?
IIRC, they added a second IDG - not a larger IDG - and the bulge is for the second IDG.

Sorry if already mentioned, but it sounds like the P-8's radar could be quite handy for overland tracking, if say you find your MPA operating over some sandbox for example, never happen would it? 
Like a mini- JSTARS. "It is said the sensor is so sensitive that it can even pick up a formation of people moving over open terrain," Tyler Rogoway in 2014 wrote about the APS-149. "Also, the speed of the system's double-sided [electronically-scanned] array allows for multi-mode operations at one time with near-360-degree coverage, meaning that scanning, mapping, tracking and classifying targets can all happen near simultaneously, resulting in massive amounts of data for multiple platforms and decision makers around the theater and beyond to exploit"
