hey @Deathmisser got something else for you
UK considers Rafale and F-18 as ‘interim aircraft’
"The Times/Defense management ; jan 26
Ministry of Defence concerns over the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter have led to military chiefs looking at other fast jets for the UK’s aircraft carrier, it has been reported.
According to The Times, Admiral Sir Trevor Soar, the current commander-in-chief fleet, said concerns were growing about rising costs and delays in the JSF programme, something now worsened by order cuts from the US.
Soar, who was addressing defence companies at the ADS Maritime Interest Group, reportedly said the UK might not receive the $100m per piece F-35 jets until a decade after the delivery of the carrier, currently set for 2019.
He was said to be considering the French Dassault Rafale and the US F-18 Super Hornet to give Britain an “interim aircraft capability”.
Soar indicated that the JSF would be a major talking point at the next strategic defence review in 2015."
Rafale for Britain anyone?
we could get it with India as well

Same but it’s so weird to see people want more than just Harriers but not wanting them too
Hey if it helps when i played HOI4s millennium dawn (modern Day) mod the other day i bought some F-16Cs, F-18Es and Bradleys, so surely thats enough evidence for them to come to the UK
plus if you go into some weird physics then technically there is at least one universe out there where Britain operates them, and id say that’s better justification than the Kronshdat

Why what happen with the F-111K one ?
Its just that people want the TSR.2 over it, it was always gonna get flack for not being finished but the F18E is gonna bring a whole new breed of salt
