ORAC,
My aim in raising the question was simply to see if anyone was willing to even consider whether any future ‘Tempest’ aircraft should be required to operate from a UK carrier.
Clearly, you’re not willing to consider that, and I fully and happily respect that point of view, as I respect all other points of view. However, I think it would be a pity if PPrune decided that the question shouldn’t even be discussed.
But I’ve asked the question, had a few answers and will leave the thread to run it’s course now.
Best regards to all those keeping an open mind,
Engines
