Well it was RAF that was making noises about all F35's being flown by RAF pilots, and F35's leaving the RN Carriers as soon as possible for land bases and it was the RAF that was happy enough to kill off the joint Harrier force. The RN has also never forgiven the RAF for 'moving' Australia while helping to kill off the CVA Carriers in the '60's.
The future might be F35, although I hope not F35 B for UK. Having said that F35, and certainly F35 B, could go the way of F22: Priced out of the market, especially if orders keep getting cut or even cancelled, as well may happen.
