Actually I didn't choose any news sources... I was merely replying to the post stating 15 F-35s would embark! I'm quite aware that our procurement of the F-35 would be quite slow as planned.

I believe RAF Marham have around 18 UK F-35s, So how many are they sending?
617 Sqn deployed six F-35Bs to Cyprus last year so I would expect this to be the minimum with the possibility of up to eight. We shall see soon enough.

Apologies if my irony caused you offence but this is precisely the point being made by ‘Sir Humphrey’ in his blog and, by implication, me.
