Webf,
The integration of the Elta radar into the FRS51 has not gone smoothly and many problems exist. I understand that four airframes from Shawbury have been purchased as parts (minus the fun bits).
I'm reasonably confident that CVF will pass MG but the precise details are yet to be seen. For better or for worse the RN has hung its hat on CVBG mentality and that is what it will become. A good amphib force backed up by a CVBG with an escort force to support both. Take it or leave it.
