So rumours of a lack of stick-monkeys in the training pipeline are unfounded?

A whistling version is under development

With delays in the carrier project, an RN feasibility study is already underway.

After aircrew input.

What concrete proposals are there for the Barrow?

Or are the MOD already too set in their ways?

More news just in from BAE ...

Here is the SAR Variant. The RAF are interested as a possible replacement for their SAR Seaking fleet (the winch has still to be fitted).

A pure Bomber Variant is available but can be modified to meet specific customer needs and operational requirements. Seen here in a pre camouflage primer "orange" finish. Anti-Flash White is available as an additional customer "colour" option.

A really interesting HC Variant next. Again the RAF are interested as a possible replacement for their HC Puma fleet.

I understand the next Variant is a possible contender for the RAF AT (Herc) and SHLT (C-17) future capability.

Finally a very hush hush concept drawing of the possible AWAC's Variant.

AAR variant discovered!

Looks like the co- forgot to check the taxiway PCN

Looks like Mike-W has uncovered @#48 the prototype Smoke Generation System to be used by the Red Barrows :}

F3WMB ... Outstanding ! You've successful discovered a rare picture of the original BAE "Proof of Concept" AAR Variant ... it would appear from my extensive research through Jane's that the Production Variant is likely to look more like this. You'll note the duel Fuel Flow Controls and Delivery Hose (in furled mode) :ok:

http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/...images-2-2.jpg

I also understand BAE offer a consultancy service (£5bn Fixed Price) to advise on maximising the customers Force Multiplier :E

http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/...images-1-4.jpg

Still more information emerging from BAE ...

Trials of the Stealth Barrow Technology, which can be retro-fitted to all Barrow Variants, is well advanced.

http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/...images-3-4.jpg

A Naval Variant is nearing the "Release to Service" stage.

http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/...r/images-7.jpg

BAE have also developed what they call "Infantry Proofing Technology" ... again retro-fitting is available for customers.

http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/...r/images-5.jpg

http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/...r/images-5.jpgLooks like the Booties might come onboard with that one.

And, of course, the equipment is useful for senior officers to run their houshold budgets (if you will permit thread crossing).

And,for those summer evenings, there is the variant suitable for use with Mess Kit...
