    Plastic maybe , but you have to admit its a better looking airliner than anything Airbus has put in the air .

    So judging by the few answers , its going to be a land/sea/attack/ army support aircraft??? So no fighter capabilities ,i’ll be pretty useless & defending itself & the ship that launched it ?? So who thought this one up ???

    When this plane , wether A B or C , eventually goes into service , with its respective customers , who are we expecting its main adversaries /opponents to be . ie, Su,Mig SAAB . What planes will get the better of F35 in a dog fight /stand off/ intercept senario.

    In a nutshell will F35 be ” The Best of the Best ” ( Or Not )

    Opt for F35B , keep them both ( No need to ponce around with cats & traps now ) . Stick 12 of each aforementioned jet thingys on them . Then tootle around the world showing the flag , & sending the modern day equivilent of the ” Gun Boat ” to make some nation, with only a thin veneer of civilisation , run . And its hows your father!!! Business as usual Your Majesty ??

    $20 million ?? Phew ! mere pocket money , not even a decent lottery win ! & the Carrier works out cheaper . Its all a bit BOGOF ( Buy one carrier , get one free ) .

    I was talking to the crew of an Orion P3 at RIAT Fairford & mentioned them being upgraded to P8 Poseidon . They didnt seem very impressed , they reckoned that they were going from something unique , to a holiday airliner that everybody flies .

    I think White Star had a cunning plan , quite possibly involving a turnip !

    I’ve just dug out my Pan Books book on the subject ” The making of a film by Leonard Mosley ” It was a dog eared copy I picked up in a Red Cross shop for about 30p some 32 yrs ago .
    Some years later went to a ” Pathfinder Talk ” given by Hamish Mahaddie & had a chat with the Group Captain . I had my book with me & at the start of the chapter about his involvement in the film ” The leprechaun in the bowler hat ” he autographed it for me also with a little message . The book itself is not worth a lot , but my copy is just a bit special too me .
