Well that started in the 1980s and is soon to end. The RAF is going to be using the ASRAAM now.

I hope that is still the case after the spending review is sorted, we might end up going back to using the Firestreak

Firestreak...no...far too expensive!

Browning .303s more likely!

No, that's what we'd do. More likely they'd strap a Ghillie under the wing and have him do all the shooting.
