I wonder if ''Dave'' will put in a appearance at RIAT this year?  It being a Farnborough year.... ;D

And I'm not talking about the Dave that likes chips.......  :LOL

I think this aircraft is a waste of money, too much to produce and too much to maintain. It also comes with too many strings attached! There questions over it's capability as well! Just my opinion gleaned from reading articles on the type!
