Maybe history and revery has resulted in 6-ft getting the first F-35 Sqn; proving that age, seniority and provenance are perhaps not as important to those at the very top of the RAF. So, just because 617 hasn't flown a 'fighter' since 1943 are we saying they shouldn't be doing it from 2016 onwards? As a comparison both 3(F) and 19(F) flew reconnaissance aircraft for some time during their early years - not a fighter in sight!
Orca, it'd be nice to see 'Chequers' or 'Quiche' get the next one...
