if you're trying to reopen the CTOL vs VSTOL debate, no point. It has been debated ad nauseam and there are plusses and minuses on both sides from a UK standpoint. The decisions have been taken and the key point now is to make the best of the route we've plumped for. The UK package is a good fit for the UK, but I'm certainly not going to rake over all the whys and wherefores yet again.
