They scrapped Nimrod as to be fair it was long overdue, massively over budget and the numbers to be getting procured were going steadily downwards.

It was a botched programme from the beginning. Typical of BAe Systems.

However they should of and could of funded a replacement from existing systems.

8 P-8s should be sufficient.
