Plus on top of that the Government insist on building all those overhead concrete monstrosities for smart motorways etc, why they never legislated that cars must be able to transmit it to the drivers by xyz.. so you will be trying to land through overhead cables and overhead gantries… the Jag only had to struggle to find a straight bit of road without a bridge over it.

What you need is a fighter that has rough field capability like the Jag or the Harrier, both of which we binned, I’d hate to think how an F35 will standup to sitting in a lay-by.

It seems to me that the obvious answer to the trucking problem would be to go back to using the railways, with trucks only used for local trans-mode shipping. That would leave the motorways free of overheard charging wires to allow fighters to land!
