"Oh Gawd, you don't want to be doing that. Some beancounter will see the photo and deduce that Dave will fit on one of the current 'carriers'."
The laughable fact is that we can currently only generate around 6 - 8 Harriers for Lusty - let alone 36 for a CVF. Lusty could probably handle 10 - 12 F35Bs... so you actually have a point. Some might say.. if we are unlikely ever to get above 12, why even bother building a new ship. Spend £1.5bn on a massive SLEP for Vini, Lusty and Ark.
