Cheers Squirrel. It strikes me as a bit ambitious to imagine deploying an airgroup of F35C from PoW in 2018, but we shall see.
As to an Aeronavale airgroup instead - hmm - good to practice, potentially interesting if we needed to do something with them in anger?
As to Tornado geting binned in toto next week, the numbers just wouldn't stack up. I'd be less surprised by another cut in number of sqns and early retirement once all the Phoon sqns are in place (all 5 of them...)
Snr Rduarte - have a sniff of this pretty flower in my buttonhole.
