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
