ICBM,

I'd by a cheaper type, like the F18 E/F or Rafale, or even investigate the Sea Typhoon idea being floated (pardon the pun). This given the we can't do anymore attitude creeping through the U.K. from the top down ought to find such an arrangment agreeable. We ditch the horrendously expensive magic jet once and for all and we buy some existing proper ones and perhaps a few more of them than we would the magic one. I understand that the Australians, already getting Super Hornets, as an intended interim, are looking at making it the chosen one for the long term!
