Absolutely - if someone else would do all the development work, we in the UK might be less likely to reject the idea on grounds of cost.I had heard about trials using Osprey in the COD role and speculation for a possible future use of the aircraft in AAR and AEW but was not aware that they have actually developed the idea would be good for all users such as the UK, Italy Spain Aust and of course the USMC and USN.
I'd prefer to be saying "more likely to buy" but that's not how the budget rolls right now..
