It's worth pointing out that Duncan Sandys MP, as then Minister of Defence and author of the 1957 White Paper, decided to put his faith in technology but in the form of Missiles. They could not deliver.

Will the F-35 will do the job as advertised, and be affordable, on time and available in the numbers needed to ensure credible Royal Air Force and Fleet Air Arm usage?
