So the UK is sending its MPA crews around the world to maintain their skills until we have an MPA again?:
How will this pan out? Post 2015 we will order UAV and manned systems, buy P8s or some other type?

I’ve posted before that the C295MPA would be an ideal solution, together with a few standard cargo versions for loads that are already a waste of a Herc, and will be even worse inside a A400M.
Maybe if money allows, a couple of SpecFor versions with Refueling probe
As a bonus, it would also be a nice sized step in training up to the A400M.

To early to tell as yet, they do accept there is a capability gap there at present and may be filled by our Allies, b a joint venture with our allies, by new technology, by re-tasking existing hardware or possibly buying into new kit.
We may some clearer thinking on the matter in the 2015 SDSR possibly with some form of interim solution with an eye to the 2020 SDSR for a long term solution.
