Somebody else asked for comments on this vid a week ago

For wot it is worth here are mine repeated

I would agree every word that John said about the STOVL handling of the Harrier and the F-35B

The software that allows the simple use of the stick to go up or down regardless of airspeed is surely the holy grail of aviation – on the approach it is as if you are flying an aircraft had has no stall speed.

This flight control system was developed in the UK using the VAAC Harrier research aircraft at Bedford and later Boscombe Down and purchased by the Joint Programme Office of the JSF for the B version.
