I think the Typhoon buy........and most of the a/c are not needed
Bismark you do yourself a disservice by spouting such rubbish!! Not needed? That would be not needed to replace the F3, the GR3 and ultimately the GR9 and possibly GR4. You are doing exactly what you accuse Lord Craig of doing, only you are briefing against the RAF to try and protect the RN. I am a supporter of the CVFs (despite being light blue) but in this case Lord Craig is spot on. The CVFs and the (soon to be very) late JSF will not help in the current operational environment. They are the only thing that we could afford to delay.

And I think you will find that Trident and son of Trident were/will be more than Typhoon. Actually I think CVF+JSF will be more as well!! Lies, damn lies and statistics.
