Tourist,
I appreciate that your concern may be that it's very difficult to navalise a land based a/c however, I believe Tarnished has faith in the idea as a SME.
Cokecan,
very good point reference SLCAM, I had never thought of that aspect at all but hey, I'm just a mud mover! Surely T3 of Typhoon would be cheaper to navalise and support than JSF, without the tech transfer issue.
Jackonicko is on the same wavelength as myself here as I am very concerned that JSF is simply too far away to replace the GR9 without a capability gap, or at least a shortfall in available a/c.
I'm not interested in inter service bickering, lets just ensure that we buy what is best for the RN and RAF... Typhoon with optional arm bands!
