Just been listening to the PM spelling out the U.K. Strategic Defense and Security review, couple of things heard were the doubling of drones over our current number and more fighter aircraft ! Don't really know the ins and outs as I'm listening while at work

Looks like they're finally ordering 9 P.8s. 24, rather than 8, F.35s to be carrier-ready by 2023. Extending the life and upgrading early Typhoons. More drones. That seems to cover it as far as aircraft are concerned! www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34897076 |

Thought the P8s were history!! Main reasons being airbourne endurance and no AAR capability for current RAF tankers ( needs a boom fitted aircraft like USAF tankers)
