At least now I know that Pink Floyd will never reform.

I actually disagree with the title of the thread. I think we were crazy ever to buy Harrier. Sure it did some good stuff once we had it, but it was precisely becasue we had it that we were able to buy toy carriers instead of proper ones and that meant we didn't have to field real fixed-wing jets at sea. Imagine if we'd had to find proper replacements for Phantom and Buccaneer. We wouldn't be in this ridiculous F35B mess now, that's for sure.

Glad it's gone. Once the Dave B is choppedn we'll all be able to get on with doing it properly again. No more jumping beans.
