Just a view on some recent posts if I may: If the F-35B is cancelled (and possibly the C too) then we've just re-negotiated a contract to build two, 65,000 tonne, ramp-decked helicopter wendy houses to propel the RN well into this century with absolutely no FW fast-air whatsoever?! I don't buy that at all, but I stress that is purely my opinion. As much as I also like to think that much of the uncertainty is tactically planned by the media - poor programme expectation with a sudden surge of success making for a much better story that lingers in the public mind.

Two carriers? Brilliant news if true and how it should always have been.
