There really is a going to be at least a two-year gap where the fleet squadrons will not have any aeroplanes, and you've got to love that bit about the range of the Harrier and its ideal target, funny as hell. By the way, have you seen the size of those carriers? There was a computer generated impression of one in some aircraft magazine I was reading the other day, they are flipping enormous!
Pointless personal trivia: My missus knows John Bird quite well coincidentally.
