To perhaps help move the thread off yet another discussion about F-35 merits and demerits:
Looking at the Tempest 'mock up' (in my own view, it's really not much more than a three dimensional doodle), does anyone share my view that this particular concept is probably not looking at operating from a QE class carrier? I'd offer the thought that any future UK combat aircraft programme should at least consider the need to be able to operate at sea. As ever, I realise that many PPruners out there who know much better than me will disagree.
So - any thoughts on whether 'Tempest' should go to sea?
Best Regards as ever to those in town who have to decipher what's in the crystal ball
