Early EFs were always going to have the gun, physically, just as ballast, not serviced, not trialled, not cleared, and with no ammunition of in-service support funded. Later aircraft were to have had it removed entirely.

It's now back in as a funded weapon system according to our sources.

Anyone know if IPA001 flew on the 6th as planned? Or was it held up waiting for the Germans to fly their production aircraft first....?
