F35 playing over Townsville Nth Qld

As an LHA, she would not have F35’s either. The original JC will have them and the modified (Ozzie) editions cannot accommodate them ... in their two, different geopolitical zones, I think both are 'right' And we don't need to have that discussion; but will soon be short of assets with which to put...

Nipper finishes his course next week, prefers HMG to the GPMG it is replacing due to less barrel clearances.
