Fly by wire vs Hydraulic controls

[95th Rifleman]

I think the RAF will be the same, we'll soon find the Buccaneers, canberras and Jaguars being put into front line service. (we still had some left in the mid 90's thankfully).

The Tornados and Harriers would end up being grounded for lack of spare parts and the complications of maintenance. Sure you can set up a Harrier base anywhere, but you have to supply them still.
