A recent posting on the UK Defence Journal states that Reagan explicitly offered the British government the chance to partner on the F-117 program in 1986. They declined.

If the British had instead participated, what might have resulted from it? What gets cut in order to pay for it? Less Tornados? Less spending on other branches? Reduced participation in the Eurofighter program?

What might be the operational history? Presumably it would be similar to the USAF's use -- the Gulf War, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan.

Would British Night Hawks still be flying today? It seems unlikely, given that the US has been done with theirs since 2008, but I suppose the question is worth considering.
