Description
Is it flying - or ain't it?
A lovely aircraft - pity it's been dumped. In the Falklands the Argies would have walked all over us without it. However, it performed exactly as advertised and realised all the ambitions of its makers.
Problem is, there is no place in today's world for subsonic fighters, no matter how good they are at coming to a stop whilst still flying.
