Am I right in thinking that there has yet to be a definitive statement on what the cause of the engine fire was and hence it would seem that any required redesign of the engine has yet to start, implicitly delaying the USMC's desired IOC of May 2015?

Also is there any update on the software status, last I heard the US Army was looking at it, we in the UK need to have Software version 3F for our front-line planes not a pre technical refresh Version 2 or 3i of the software.

I am assuming that the planned carrier trials for the F35C have been delayed because of the engine problems, can anyone confirm?
