Leuchars has Telebrief and Q sheds and approved weapons bays ?

Great. Can we sell them back our 0.2 of a carrier then? That's £1.2 billion.

Will they have been maintained in the years since the RAF handed it over to the Army?

Sorry ACW, I don't have all of that info to hand, but according to Boeing the MTOW of a P8 is 189200 lbs, which if memory serves correct is a little more than an MR2. Thereafter I would look at the wheel configurations of MR2 v P8. Needless to say, there are some chaps in Florida who ran all the calculations.
