Re: Future UK Maritime Patrol Options
My understanding is that there are 2x 3 and 3 x 2 unallocated serials in Boeing production plans.1of those '051' is in early assembly. There are not inclusive of the preproduction models B1-4 which were delivered to the US already and not those allocated to the RAAT and IAF which have FMS serials.

Re: Type 45 Destroyer (Daring Class) (RN)
...how would it go on top of the hanger, may I ask? It has been looked, the hangar roof is stressed as a future 'growth enabled space'. 1 company to my knowledge has 2 designs. 1 a retractable navalised army mount with 2 x 12 fire units and the other a 2x 36 parallell vls array.

Re: Future UK Maritime Patrol Options
