NaB - "has removed the highest risk bit from the programme (F35B)."
Does this refer to certain rash commitments made by Mr Boffin concerning what he would do if SRVL was adopted as SOP?
Also, this comment is not exactly consonant with the vehement insistence of the Commandant of the Marine Corps that the F-35B program is going just tickety-freaking-boo and that all that it needs is to be taken off probation and given lots more money.
So are we to believe that the Commandant is blowing smoke up our collective convergent-divergent nozzles?
