Trouble is I don't think we have any choice with Typ Tr 3 - we pay regardless! Stitched up would be my view!

Agree we need carrier based aviation - but does it NEED to be FAA? Similarly, if we want to protect the FAA do all Typhoon/Tornado crews need to be RAF? Back to the best person for the job, regardless of cloth.
I really hope this is over enthusiastic journalism - the "me, me, me" (or in this case "RAF, RAF, RAF") is really quite sad
