The commitment to develop a sixth-generation manned fighter is expected to be the highlight of defence secretary Gavin Williamson’s Combat Air Strategy, a blueprint for sustaining military aerospace design and manufacturing skills.
The pledge will provide a boost for the defence industry on the first day of the Farnborough air show, which will be opened by Theresa May. Bosses have long argued that Britain must commit to a new fighter jet or risk losing a crucial industry.

I remember a talk given by a British Aerospace chappie at RAF Wittering in 1986 where he described this wonderful new jet that they were in the final stages of designing. It was eventually to become known as the Typhoon and has only recently come into service!
