A great piece of kit.....

...sadly the Royal Navy won't have these babies operational for at least a decade. We should ignore the VSTOL version and buy the full monty. All we need to do is build bigger carriers, better still buy a couple from the US who still know how to build a decent sized flat-top. The British arms industry is a joke and is incapable of delivering anything on time and on budget. Let's stop building Euro-crap and buy straight from source in the US. The so called skilled labour in the British Defence Industry can do maintenance etc. Except building subs because we still can do that bloody well. We should only pay for kit that arrives on time, on budget and that works.
