All variants are Lightning II; correct nomenclature would be F-35A Lightning II, F-35B Lightning II, F-35C Lightning II, F-35I Lightning II, and CF-35 Lightning II.
Which is why I think a British name might be in order.
And it was another Royal Navy invention. (We're quite good at this lark.)
I think it will be the death knell for the cat and traps - which are bonkers when you think about it.
For Sea Harrier, the ski-jump essentially gave the aircraft around three quarters of a mile 'runway in the sky'.
That basically gives me my answer, thanks.
