Too many things to go wrong - maintenance to keep 'em flying must be a nightmare, especially under operational conditions. Bring back the Harrier, I say.
I still can't understand why they didn't go for a conventional carrier with modified Euro fighters. I gather that the Typhoon would have been perfectly capable of being modified for carrier use.
