expected to be available towards the end of this year and should enable decisions to be taken on the detailed specification of the craft and a design contract placed by about September 1978. This should allow time for design work, construction and trials so that the first craft can be completed by 1982 and the remainder between 1982 and 1985.
I will let you know how things develop.
