So its basically a British JSTARS by the sound of it?

Basically yes, although in a smaller airframe full of Army/Navy/RAF types (flown by the RAF though!), which has led to weight problems. Rumour has it they even wanted a stable on board for the Officers' horses... Grin

It's been happily mincing around Lincolnshire recently though...

Looks nice, and should be a decent bit of kit when it goes somewhere useful/sandy.

On a personal note, I was lucky enough to see them foriming up in Lincolnshire airspace...

Quite.

But a lot heavier and "uglified"! Grin
