Apparently Ark Royal is to be de-commissioned earlt (in 2011 rather than 2014) and one of the new carriers due for 2018 will be modifeied so it can accept fixed wing french and US aircarft rather than just VTOL JSFs.
Will you be OK Pete? How much longer are you signed up for?
Please to heare that Pete. Shame about the Ark and the Harriers too…I think the last of the harriers are not all that old! I wonder if there are plans to use American Marine Corps AV8 Harriers of the new carriersm at times of crisis until the JSF come on stream
