How far is Donegal Airport from Finner? Having a DF detachment there if needed should be feasible?"Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home. But just when you thought there were truly no surprises left in football, Vinnie Jones turns out to be an international player!" (Jimmy Greaves)!"

Bit of a tangent but something I think should be looked at for a future upgrade to the Spectres.
PrecISR airborne surveillance radar is Hensoldt’s latest technology response to tackle the challenges of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions at Air, Sea and Land. Designed for a wide range of airborne platforms (UAVs, helicopters, fixed wing and special mission aircraft), PrecISR is the ISR sensor of choice for armed and security forces for SAR and ISAR imaging, to mitigate human and drug trafficking, piracy and smuggling, illegal fishing, terrorism, oil dumping or any other environmental threat
Thanks to its software-defined radar modes and electronic beam steering, PrecISR can detect and track simultaneously more than 1,000 targets in order to identify the “needle in the haystack”. There is literally no “escape zone” for non-cooperative targets when PrecISR is being operated, enabling, for example, a rapid identification of maritime vessels that do not have corresponding AIS or IFF signature.
Offering a large diversity of software-defined radar modes (SAR, GMTI, ISAR, MMTI, Range Profiling, AMTI, etc.), which are perfectly adapted to most mission profiles, PrecISR can perform several different tasks at the same time in all three domains: air, sea and land.
Equipped with the latest generation of AESA antenna technology (GaN: Gallium Nitride), PrecISR offers double the radio frequency power of a traditional AESA antenna. That means that, despite its small size and low power consumption, it can still provide outstanding performances and high-quality images.
Even in the most challenging environmental conditions and sea states, PrecISR users will take advantage of an unrivalled level of situational awareness with significant flight cost savings.
As PrecISR is a single-component “plug-and-play” radar, its low compact design makes it much easier to install, maintain and upgrade than other radars. For example, it does not require any penetration of the fuselage and can be dismantled within less than 30 minutes.
