The Royal Navy was not built on ships called Betty and Chuck, shades of Micheal Crawford and McDonalds, they can crawl back to wherever they came from.

The CV's Queen Elizabeth II and Prince of Wales demand better acknowledgement than two American style nicknames from a burger bar.

Re possible F18 production, somewhere on this thread or the one on the F18, I have seen a statement made of production carrying through to minimum 2018 based on existing requirements, export sales, US forces replacements, etc., but rumours being rumours?. One things for sure, we can't afford to buy these JSF things at present, nor in the next five years minimum, for what is at present a very expensive ill defined specification/wish list that can only increase in cost and time. I suppose there is always the Gripping and Ruffle as possibles.
