Value for Money?
John
Well put but is the aircraft going to offer value for money? Is it really the most cost effective solution for the UK?
I fear that Cameron's recent bold statement about keeping both carriers means they will be financially constrained to harbour most of the year and the F35 crews getting 150 hrs a year flying from UK ground bases assuming this aircraft gets a UK release to service.
We shall see but not optimistic about it being a 60 year programme. Would have thought UAVs more likely to take over sooner than that.
