Seriously though the MPA requirement is up for review in 2015 we have had 5 years of a capability gap with the skill levels being maintained via Project Seedcorn to place UK MPA specialists with allied forces MPA capability. Funding for seedcorn expires after 2015 so they have to make a decision to cancel the lot and say farewell to the capability, fund seedcorn for another 5 years and let the next SDSR decide in 2020 or implement a project to restore our MPA capability in one form or another. P-8A is the best case, would like option, none is the worst case and any number of ad-hoc solutions will be in the offing between these two.
