With a YUGE consider-the-source advisory for anyone unfamiliar with this rag....

Our new aircraft carrier could sink the defence budget without firing a shot

The F-35 will be far, far more effective than the Harrier.

Even right now with its faults, it is a better plane. Not even in the ballpark...and the Harrier was a great plane.

LOL, I can see how it did...it is waaaaay too clean (even for a new ship) and there are no people anywhere!
