IMHO if this aircraft delivers even half of what is promised, it will be a world
beater, but could the RAF operate a stealth aircraft like this?

If we were to buy it, it would surely have to be re engined with a modern Spey,
and in true RAF fashion would need to constantly leak oil which could ruin its
stealth.

To be serious though, I feel that this new arrival fits into the 'if it looks right'
category. The PAK could be our new air superiority fighter, and the Typhoons
could be used in A to G instead of buying F35's........Well I am allowed to dream.
