Depending on which forums you read, AKA 'The great grey photo op.'/'the great grey publicity stunt'
I suppose it's useful training & somewhat more practical than an A400M, though...assuming it's electronics suite is capable of detecting RIBs, inflatables, etc.

And nice of the Army to help out the Junior Service..... :smiley:

It doesn't need to. It just needs to be picking up the broadcasts from the Sky News and BBC flotillas!
