So no real strike background then, just puddle jumpers [bless] .
Absolutely the way forwards.
Clearly a sarcastic troll.
Well done Godders, I know you'll be an excellent addition to the F-35 team at High Wycombe.
Glad Rag, to answer your point on
strike in particular, the term doesn't and hasn't meant what it used to mean for quite some time now. Especially in US terminology. F-35B will be a carrier strike asset and Godders has more than enough experience of operating Harrier at sea. Add in his understanding of US TTPs and operating methodology; his Typhoon knowledge, which will undoubtedly be of use when considering the concepts of balancing both capabilities as a Future Force, and you have a very smart decision in his posting. Who would you employ in such a role then?
