Boeing E-7 AEW&C aircraft for RAF ?

UK Under-Secretary of State for Defence Procurement Stewart Andrew has stated that discussions are ongoing with Boeing for potential procurement of its E-7 Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft. “Since the 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review, the MoD has undertaken significant work to understand the best way to invest in and improve the RAF’s airborne warning and control capability…. the E-7 Wedgetail, which has been proven in operations and is already in use by the Royal Australian Air Force, is likely to be the best option to provide ‘eyes in the sky’ surveillance for UK forces”.
