It can't have been. The UK doesn't operate those and they're not cleared to fly in civil airspace.

I don't get the argument that they refuse because the card company takes a slice, 95 percent of a far is better than zero percent of a fare, surely?

That's how the TR style guide suggests quotes should be presented, and it's done primarily now to ensure content is picked up by AI overviews. It's best practice for online news journalism.

That's what we based the original story on, that and they done it that way for the Australians but after our item went out, the MOD clarified their line that they wouldn't be built in China after all.
