...flight trials carried out using a Harrier, not F-35. So no F-35 handling characteristics, not the full F-35 system, not the F135 engine, not the 2015 software, not the F-35 brakes....
A Harrier trying to simulate an F-35? For proving a concept, fine. But that is still a simulation on a completely different airframe. The interest that raised the question, remember, was weather the F-35 had been tested on a QE sized deck.
Sorry, I should add it was proving for the Bedford Array, was it not?
