Please do not kid yourselves!
The RAF & / or HMG will buy all the EuroFighters ordered. What will surprise us is what they will do with them. I am fully aware of the recent air to ground issues facing EF but...... Can you seriously see Tornado making it to 2020? Add into this equation the lask of Navs and an increased SAM threat and you have close to the perfect POLITICAL solution. Secure jobs, cover shortfalls, improve capability.
My only grip is with the NAVs who signed on believing that the GR4 would last until 2020. WAKE UP! 2010 is as good as you will get.....it's a shame that they are not looking for people too enter the Ops Sup branch......Oh Hello! Leave now before it is too late.
I lust for Thrust
