A thoroughly well done programme, no doubt it will be required watching at BRNC shortly!
Interesting that with what was learned at Midway the Armed Forces Minister can say this: (as quoted in Preview, June 2007 page 14)
The primary function of carrier borne-airpower is the direct support of ground operations, for which the Harrier GR7/GR9 are eminently suited. In an operation where there is significant air threat to maritime forces, air defence will be provided by either land based or coalition aircraft in addition to sea based air defence. JSF will give the force the full spectrum of fast jet operations.
I guess Adam Ingram isn't a student of Strategic Studies?!
