Isn't the current predicament with JFH, and the lack of jets for the carrier mainly down to a lack of an alternative? i.e. its the same with the helicopters. We have legacy assets which aren't up to the job, so we are having to push the load on to the small number of types that do. The Harriers are being overworked true, but they have certainly demonstrated their worth and the utility of STOVL. We obviously need to get both FAA squadrons up and flying, but the real answer to the current problem is to get Typhoon moving earth as soon as possible.
