The UK will not just purchase 48 aircraft, those 48 will be the fixed wing component for carrier strike, minus testing fleet + OCU. But this isn't the right thread for that.
To be honest, there hasn't been much *new* in this article with regards to the F35 order. 48 B's as expected + undisclosed amount of more aircraft, good to hear that the model could potentially change as I thought the plan was just an urban legend
I found it most interesting the comment that some people were advocating 80/20 split for unmanned/manned aircraft.
