Let's get this straight. You are proposing to take a 30+year old aircraft that has already had a full service life and re-work it to incorporate modern systems. And you think that this idea will be simpler and cheaper than building a new aircraft.
Do you work for BAE Systems?
Your second proposal is to go to the expense of changing the design of a brand new ship to incorporate necessary the launch/recovery systems to enable your first idea to work.
You really do work for them, don't you?
To cap these master-strokes you are then going to give your £multi-billion new vessel a primary weapons system based on an out-of-production 25 year old design, whose only advantage is the ability to do without the launch/recovery equipment that you have already made necessary by proceeding with step 1.
Now you've given yourself away, you actually work for the MoD. In an IPT.
You can expect only sarcastic responses when you make proposals that are better suited to the letters page of Air Forces Monthly.
