Personally, I can't understand why our government and MOD decided on F-35s of any type. BAE tried to sell Eurofighter Typhoons to India, including a proposed NAVALISED version...
why couldn't the Royal Navy buy those?
Dunno about the magazines, because the only history one I buy is from the US - (VIETNAM magazine)
I guess they'll throw me off too, as I don't think I've posted anything on this group until today!!
Anyway, I guess the Third Imperium had the same problems of overruns, spiralling costs and late deliveries of equipment that doesn't do the job, though by TNE times it would have to be right first time!
