Of course there is no change in Britain's JSF programme, as they have only ordered two Initial Operational Test & Evaluation models and are committed to buying another third as that is so far all they have been required to do in terms of orders. Davies himself said last year that a decision on how many F-35Bs will be ordered won't be made fully until about 2014. Besides, the thing has yet to finish its development to say something like "we are going to buy xx(x) F-35Bs. Definitely. The I.O.U. slip is already in the post." Nobody has done that yet as far as I was aware.
