Britain Buys Lockheed Jets
Britain bought three Joint Strike Fighter test aircraft as it
considers purchasing the F-35 planes from Lockheed Martin to replace
Harrier jets. "By purchasing three aircraft for testing, we will
secure access to the development of the program," British Defense
Secretary John Hutton said.


Uh ?

BAE Systems is already a major contractor on the program.
