If the GR9 gets a data link that will be good news. If it gets ASRAAM that will also be good. Now why can't it take the cannon pods from the Shar?

So, WEBF, is it possible? From an engineering point of view - yes. But that's a qualified yes, depending on lots of factors and it will decrease with time. How long is probably a question for someone in the IPT.

I sort of knew that - but wanted it confirmed by an expert. Better than the scrapyard. The SFDO website says they have civvy (ex mob?) Engineers to look after the aircraft.

Navy News will run a story on the end of the Sea Harrier, which someone will no doubt post in due course. However, until then, it seems logical to let this thread retire. Here are some pictures.

Issues relating to the future carriers, and the aircraft they will carry still need discussing but I feel this can be best done on a new thread dedicated to CVF,JCA and MASC.
