Any chance of another request? I'd like some early 80's AEW for the Brits. A Shackleton would be ideal, but a quick what-if? would be a viable Nimrod AEW cloned from the MR2 with the weapons & ASW stuff stripped out and replaced with the sensors from the E-2. This was in fact one of the options considered as a Shackleton replacement and could have been in service quickly and at low risk. Instead of course the government chose to pour 4-5 billion quid into a mismanaged high-risk project that failed to deliver, and then had to buy the E-3 after all. Politicians, don't you just love 'em?
