Re: What a clusterfrack

Just shows the power of the woolly suit/PowerPoint/Posh dinners. The entire thing was clearly a total disaster to everyone except the top brass. It would have been far cheaper and probably for more useful to have done the full capability upgrade for the Harrier. At least the thing actually flew, and more to the point proved itself in the very theatre for which the F35 heap of scrap is supposed to work in.

Yet it may be old but the Harrier was a seriously capable aircraft that an upgrade could easily have brought into the 21st century.

Oh sorry, I missed something, no American involvement, no billions of dollars or pounds going to foreign companies......

WTF.
