AirPower Expo at Coningsby

[Nighthawke]

I was only interpreting the MoD report which suggested a difference in terminology - copied from yesterday's BBC report:

The Ministry of Defence in London said the UK had decided to "pause some F-35 flying as a precautionary measure while we consider the findings of an ongoing enquiry".

But the MOD said F-35 flight trials from the aircraft carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth, were continuing and the programme remained on schedule to provide UK armed forces with "a game-changing capability".

Well let’s hope they pull out a lot of the based stuff for tomorrow night.

[Webby74]

Looking forward to going tomorrow night. They are saying that hopefully the stuff that didn't turn up today because of the storm will arrive tomorrow. Some nice set pieces planned to by the sound of it
