Typhoon Tranche 3 Deal in Limbo
Backseatjock,
Reported comments about Harrier post-2018 were very much RAF, and very much in response to repeated journo probing. Quentin expressed complete confidence that JSF would be on time, even denying that the programme had been subject to any delay or any problems so far.
My opposition to carriers isn't because I don't think that they might not be useful one day, it's that the budget is so tight that we simply can't afford the 'nice to have' niche capabilities, when we can't even afford enough of the everyday essentials and core roles.
