How very considerate and helpful of the Defence Secretary to announce roughly where the aircraft came down. That means if you were thinking about salvage, analysis and reverse engineering, you could start looking in the right place if you know where the QE was at the time (AIS plus radar x-section = Yorkshire should do it). I would like to applaud his contribution to the security of the F-35 capability. But I can't. Presumably he will follow the line he has taken with others who have inadvertently breached security and sack himself.
