Just Germany and France and that may change with time. Spain does plan on purchasing a number of F-35B’s for the Navy. Yet, has also shown interest in the F-35A for the Air Force. Yet, that is some time off because of the current economic condition of the country. Regardless, most NATO Members plan on going with the F-35.

The Spanish can’t afford new fighters………….

To station a Sqn wouldn’t actually cost that much, it would just mean one less deployable Sqn for the RAF, this won’t be such an issue once F-35 comes online or when the islands oil is flowing I am sure they could finance a couple of Gripen squadrons 😛

Where as I;m just hoping for me nation to be independent, if Wales charged 1p per thousand gallons of water it supplies to England it would have a higher GDP than Saudi Arabia…..

Remember Typhoons are swing role and you may well see T3 be deployed soon and expect the Falklands to get them before long…..

Remember that since the purchase of Apache Lynx has no longer been an AT Helo. This is why that Wildcat has been designed to do most of the roles that Gazelle was doing. This means that instead of soldiering on with Gazelle they got Lynx doing some of the roles and let the other roles go…..

RIP, he never really looked his age though…..

If they were told they had to deliver a project on time and on budget or face repercussions they would make good a/c but at the moment they seem to have free roam over the UK market!!!
