The 'no show' today simply demonstrates another reason why GR4 was kept - TFR gives a low-level marginal-VMC/IFR option!
A sad way for the "puffer jet" to go after bailing us out for axing the Ark Royal too early in the 70s (the last time we had a REAL Carrier STRIKE capability) - roll on 2018/20 to get a decent multi-role carrier capability.
