Good article - on the basis of that are you saying that old tired flat tops are all that Brazil can afford ??
Based on that article (which was interesting) I'd be surprised if they could buy anything at all, mind you if you are in the sh!t up to your neck that deeply another £80M is lost in the shouting.
I do feel though that eventually the Brazillian economy will rebound as the commodities they have are what the world wants.... (oil, timber, soya etc)
I assume they will operate rotary only as they also have no ship based fixed wing capability. I am sure that if BAE started building a cheaper Harrier capability many of these countries would buy it for non CAT & TRAP style operations off of these flat tops........ maybe a gap in the market there.
