How do you know there isn't something better?

There is something better for PR but it goes out of
service next month. Designed in the 1940s and still
in service a photo reconisance platform that has no
equal. Sometimes what you have is better than what
you might get.
As I recall Boeing tried to design an SST, one major
problem, no Brits on the design team.
