		Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup: As I say, in part this does rely upon extra resources being made available to fund posts, but assuming we are able to do that, and we do put a great deal of priority on it, then certainly I would anticipate during the course of next year.
		Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup: I cannot give you a precise date because we have not yet established how long it is going to take us to work through the first tranche of propositions, but it is important for everybody to understand that until the work is done no decisions are made.

		Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup: We are still working on a date of around 2012 for the first aircraft appearing, but we will have to see what the implications are of the restructuring of the programme which the prime contractor has made over the last few years, not least to address the weight problem.
		Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup: In keeping with the principle of effects-based operations, let me start off by outlining the effect I would want to see from an RAF perspective, and I think it is important to keep that in mind because there may be more than one way of achieving that effect.
