John,
As usual your Harrier insights are fascinating. I think your inputs were also instrumental in the design of the F35B.
Having said that, what do you think of the progress of that program and the technology as it exists in that Aircraft today.
I realise I digress from the thread, but it appears the magnificent, rugged and in comparison, mechanically simple and reliable Harrier will be 'going away' soon to be replaced by what has become in my humble opinion an extremely expensive, maintenance intensive 'gold plated' Joint Strike Fighter.
Is all that, complexity, weight and expense 'worth it' in your opinion ?
