I couldn't hold back the thought but, in remembrance: the UK  started WW2 with shipboard Swordfish biplanes - shouldn't it maintain tradition and start a naval jet war with Seafires or something? Imagine the fun of catching up under the stress!

Well the Navy has at least one Sea Fury knocking about Wink Probably a much better aircraft that that crappy JSF will ever be anyway.
Charlie, is the Typhoon at Coningsby?
