So only foreigners will fly Britons most iconic aircraft from now on. Aye, bad move, a very bad & short sighted move :~( Whilst I like the Harrier they are a niche aircraft with a limited application. Great for Cold War UK and some typical wierd arse Marine crap but not overly cost effective in any other roles. Now that the Harriers are being shelved can someone stop Lockheed from running the F-35 price into the stratosphere trying to get the STOVL version into production? I've never seen an aircraft program where one minor variant (minor as in sales) has disproportionally driven up the average cost for all partner countries. Scrap the STOVL and the per unit price of the F-35 may go back to something more tolerable. As for the Marines, they are tough and can suck it up...

Did the politicians actually offer to cut their wages. After all, it was their decisions that put the country into this predicament. Or, has the alcohol content been cut back on the VIP flights.
