Not a surprise and it did come from the "Times" this time. I believe we should dump the F 35 as too expensive and uncertain and go for something proven such as Super Hornet or Rafale.We must have combat aircraft for our carrier sooner.

Ditto again. Let's get something proven, and which works, instead of investing into something which looks more and more doomed to failure!

maybe that explains sarkozy pretending to be alright with cameron last night.i would say the rafale would be a far better choice than the white elephant f35.the only thing stealthy about it is the true cost and its hidden lack of abilities.
