The U.K. should have traded

BK-1 is out.

Looks like the previous proposal for the U.S. to trade BK-1 to the USMC failed. The trade idea was hatched when the U.K. dumped the F-35B STOVL (138 orders previously 150) in favor of the carrier F-35C variant.

They should have traded.

BK-1 will need a wing fix; a bulkhead fix and who knows how many other mistake-jet fixes.
