I think stuart that the ADF and Canberra,were or are,still looking at replacing the BBJ's with a bigger aircraft possibly a A332.Reason behind it was that Garuda 737 that crashed a couple years back where 5 or so Aussie journo's and officals i think,passed away on that flight.Im not sure [but happy to be corrected if not the case],Is that RAAF still have options avaliable to them with the KC-30 MRTT's and could possibly convert those options from KC-30 to one or two VIP transport aircraft,or could keep those options for KC-30's and use one for the Goverment when prime minister needs to hitch a ride somewhere overseas,much like the 707's when they were around.But im not sure when the time was up on these options to be taken up by the RAAF.
