Max Hastings: HMS Queen Elizabeth is a £6bn blunder | Daily Mail Online
The above link shows Max Hastings hasn't changed his mind about the Carriers. He's right about the circumstances which forced them to be built. He's also right that the real damage has been done persevering with such an aircraft the cost of which intended to be economic for all, has due to the technological complexities disappeared off the opposite end of the scale. And I maintain the Jet which will, some day, operate from them, because no other can thanks to the design, will be the least capable of the three marks. The F-35B isn't a Harrier replacement, it is a club foot to go with a Hunched Back!
