Reading the Sunday Times piece again, I note the wording is that an "order" for 90 F35s will be cancelled. This shows a misunderstanding of the present situation as there is no 'order' beyond the first 48; the remainder are merely a stated intention. I suppose it is possible that the review will conclude that no additional F35 orders will be placed during this review period (ie before 2025, as stated by AM Knighton) and that either the leaker or the journalist has misinterpreted this as 'cancellation'. Not long until we find out, anyway.
