Mr Boffin - Sure, you may have to re-apply the deck coating after a bunch of VLs.

FodPlod - Nice try. "F-35 Less Lethal Than Sea Vixen" is a great ad slogan. But I'd invite you to do some research and find data (big ask I know) as to how often commercial aircraft would be crashing today at early-60s rates. How about you do that before runnin u mouf?
