'Typhoid' crashes on only short runway attempting to carry out an unauthorised short landing, pilot ejects safely to face court martial later. F-35Bs unable to STO VTO to a disease free zone to 'weight up' for usual STOVL ops ashore. Substitute a Helo Crash on Deck for the 'typhoid' ashore for the VTO F-35B to translate to nearby suitable flat deck to carry on. To cheer ye all up here is a new version of the CVF animation video (wot no STOVL takeoff?):
