    This whole thing gets curiouser and curiouser. The carriers were (allegedly) designed so they could be easily retro-fitted to accommodate conventional carrier aircraft through the fitting of 'cats and traps'. In fact the MoD originally even went so far as to suggest a new type of cat would be favoured. So why suddenly is it so expensive? Why does this (allegedly) delay the carriers by 7 years? Is someone in the MoD playing some kind of game?

    I said a long time ago that they should fit the cat and traps, drop the F35 and buy the F18 Superhornet and other conventional aircraft. The saving on the aircraft purchase alone would save a lot of money, they could equip both carriers and fit them with cat and traps even at the 'new' expensive price.
