I was just wondering what would be used for AAR ,when the F-35 is embarked on the QE or POW? I saw a video of a USMC AV-8B refuelling a F-35 ,so is there a possibility of the RN & RAF using the Harrier for the same job?Just wondering.

In 1991 a buddy of mine was stationed at RAF Linton-on-Ouse,and he was put in charge of the station museum.He asked to make a model of a Lancaster X ,as he did not have one in the collection.I duly built the 48th Lanc and took it to Linton.Before I went on the base I was able take these photos,I was...
