I think you'll find, out of trim, that most of those decisions weren't taken by the present administration and none on Mr Fallons watch. Jaguar would have been long gone by now whichever party was in power, although it was chopped about eleven months early by Gordon Brown for budgetary reasons. Nimrod; yes an insane amount of money had been sunk when the plug was belatedly pulled. That doesn't mean it would have been free from that point on. Tornado, as we move towards OSD, a decreasing number of "war-goers" remain. That's why we have an OSD. Carriers; no doubt a vote-winner for Scottish Labour MP's where they're built. But cancelling one, as Fallon's predecessor wanted, would have cost more than building it. Cats/which F35, you might be right. It's been debated here ad-nauseum with about a 50/50 split. You can hardly blame the pollies if the military can't mak their minds up!
