Nothing feels good about the decision to retire this very capable aircraft early. I suppose it is a reflection of how bad the countries finances are in. Must confess I'm gutted.

Gutted too, grew up near RNAS Yeovilton, then lived in Portsmouth with a view of Invincible and Ark Royal from the office. Pity they're not doing any of the naval air stations. Such a strange and sad decision
