Navy's new carriers to deploy old aircraft
Britain's Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers will have to carry old Harrier GR9s as the F-35 will not be ready in time.
David Gould, the MoD chief operating officer for equipment and support, said: "We actually do plan to use the [Harrier] GR9 on the first of the carriers. The idea that we will have a carrier's worth of fully ... equipped JSFs in 2014 is not going to happen."
