Well just as the start of this thread indicates, we've been here and said all this before. I stick with my original comments, in fact the notion of navalising the final batch of Typhoons looks even more attractive now than it did months ago!
We have more Typhoons ordered than we actually need (well, more than our stated needs)
We don't need a vstol aircraft
The new carriers have catapult retrofit capability built-in
BAe have already said that navalising the Typhoon isn't as difficult as imagined
And now it's looking like BAe might not even be able to slow Typhoon deliveries to the RAF - seen as the Saudis look like abandoning their order. Hmm, all those Typhoons looking for a good home... You can see the inevitability of this saga growing day by day! Still, never say die - the MoD might still pull defeat from the jaws of victory and insist on throwing vast sums of money at an aircraft we don't even need.
