Out of interest why are "The SHAR pilots are under no circumstances going to the F3 "??
Is it a location thing - I heard vast majority weren't happy about Wittering/Cottesmore so I suppose Leeming / Leuchars wouldn't exactly be convenient for their families in Cornwall!
Or is it a 2 seat thing????? Suspect the idea of flying with navs doesn't fill them with joy.
Can't imagine its the fact you can't land an F3 on a ship - most would see that as a positive benefit, I would have thought!
As for capability - by the time any of them got to the front line, the F3 will be far more capable than the SHar.
Also I'm surprised they haven't been promised a Typhoon slot - every pilot in the RAF has!!!
