RN FA-18F Super Hornet
In my view this is a very savvy move from the RN, while the RAF are prepared to shaft everybody within their own service other than the Tyhpoon boys and wanting the Rolls Royce option for everything including the Tea Pots, this shows willing to accept a little less while keeping still a fine capability. Good enough for the USN/USMC should be good enough for us.
I am ex Royal Air Force and very proud of that fact, but the RAF are acting like tossers of the highest order.
The Eurofighter is a fantastic aircraft but trying to take Terry on or any other low tech lot is like delivering Spuds in a Porsche when you can use a transit van.
A mixture of High tech and less techy but at a fraction of the cost as got to be the way forward.
