I'm a civvie. I'm not an overt patriot. I'm firmly against both the wars the UK is currently fighting. My level of knowledge as regards military fast jets would be absolutely laughable to most here.
But isn't this absolutely ******* bonkers? Surely, dump Tornados before you dump Harriers, but christ, more cuts? It would force me down the "what exactly are my taxes paying for" line of thought, but that's a bit too Daily Mail for me, so I'll just muse on the fact that Harrier seems to be a well tried piece of kit with unique abilities that's recently seen lots of use, and it would seem crazy to dump it before it's replaced.
Or is my laughable level of fast jet knowledge letting me down here? Is it a complete white elephant?
