Can be flown from very remote locations, in very remote locations by folks who can fly a Flight Simulator......

No it's a UAV and can be used for a variety of tasks. It's a great achievement by BAe but the question remains as to whether or not our MoD will buy it, especially given all the cutbacks. It may sell well as an export but our lot will probably want modifications to cut costs! Eventually when its a balsa wood and tissue paper aircraft that can be flown in the local park they may buy it!Confused
