Oh! If only they'd come to their senses and scrap this daft £multi-billion limited payload, very limited number, ultra high-tech swiss-watch F35 and just fit cats, traps and a sensible number of F18s, some Hawkeyes and a COD capability...

Just who are we going to come up against that might require the esoteric limits of an F35 and that the best traditions of FAA training, tactics and practicality could not solve with F18s, and for a saving ot what, £Billions?

Leaving us able to add a sensible RM helo-borne force too.

Am I being naiive?
