To illustrate how big the contractor provided tanker / transport programs can get in due course - for any company that gets the right partners to put a plan together once they have a foot in the door - the cutting-edge world leading capability provided by Airtanker to the RAF - for its entire fleet of 14 aircraft for 27 years - is covered by a GBP13 Billion contract awarded in 2008 [$18 Billion at today's exchange rate - not adjusted for 10 years inflation on any contract awarded now].
