As a level 1 partner the UK has only slightly reduced its initial order but have not signed the follow on order. Also we are now having to take the B instead of the C version which is fraught with problems and convert the Carriers with catapults and catch wires. There are battles galore as to who is to blame for such a large budget spend on just one weapons system when at the time the troops in Afghanistan did not have proper boots. I have other choice words to describe this but Hank might tell me off! No wonder the next generation of US Bomber will be based on tried and tested technology that will deliver on time and on budget. Well hopefully.
