Oooooo! TWO islands…..nothing but wasted deck space!

SHARS wont ever come back. Easiest, simplest, cheapest solution in that scenario……..”borrow” USMC AV-8B+s. Very similar airframe to what they flyin now…..

Considering the fact that this is a religious squabble, and that Jerusalem is a holy place for both christians, arabs, and jews alike.
Do you think the issue can be solved by declaring jerusalem an open city under UN protectorate ?
(And naturally give the palestinians a coherent country)

No. Wont solve a thing.

Not as pretty tho………….

The single biggest mistake the UK made was not to convert their harriers to + standaard with a radar like the US did, so it could be a true multirole aircraft.

They should have opted for 3 30.000 ton carrriers instead of the huge useless behemoths they will be getting with apparantly no aircraft, lol.

As for buying C17 and A400M, they should have made up their mind a long time ago and just bought 10 C17’s instead of waiting for a less good EU alternative.

The best thing they can do is advance the retirement of all tornado F3’s, but as i always said they will probably cancel the carriers at some point, mistakes from the past are ALWAYS repeted in the future!.

They wont be getting any new carriers.

Does anyone really still think UK will get those carriers? Not gonna happen.

Hope the US would be willing to quietly part with a few “surplus” AV-8B pluses.
