It seems like only yesterday (it was 2001 actually) I bought my myself (no I mean my ex Cold War matelot father) an Air Forces Monthly special about carriers and there aircraft for Christmas. Despite the blows received in 2002 with the loss of Sea Harrier and in 2010 with the loss of Harrier and the STOVL/CTOL/STOVL shenanigans, the Royal Navy and the UK remains on track to get the Queen Elizabeth class at sea with F-35B.
I wonder what the same sort of special edition would say this year? What would it say in one or two years time?
Happy Christmas everyone, and lets look forward to HMS Queen Elizabeth flying Flag Foxtrot in 2018.
