Yes.. but that wouldn't generate any dosh would it and after all.. money is the key *-) While it would be nice to have one kept back, the cost of the upkeep of something even as piddly as AR5 would be phenominal. I can't see it happening.. ever, I'm afraid. Can't really see why AR has been singled out for special attention either other than for the name she carries. She has neither had a more or less distinguished career than Invincible or Illustrious so for me, the main attraction is her name *-)
