Hi Courtney
I still enjoy reading these threads but have indeed not posted for a while. I always have my fingers crossed that Mr Boffin will answer my questions as I hold his opinions in the highest of regard.
I fear that if the F35B is binned then sadly the future will not be bright for fast jet operations. From a military point or should that be Naval point of view there should have really only ever been the one option. To build a ship that can only operate one type of aircraft that would be the last in its line and not ever going to be replaced was not the wisest of decisions.
Will ANY government be able to do a U turn on a U turn on I believe another U turn? There might be one U too many but hopefully folks will get my point. Are politicians more interested in their own political career as opposed to what is best for a nation?
As I said in my previous post the arguement for converting to UCAV operations is flawed simply because of the lack of launch, recovery equipment on these STOVL ships.
Not sure about keeping just the one?? (question)
