Very good news.
I can't believe the MoD has to use YouTube to stream it's little video clips, though! :eek:

Whilst welcome, I'd rather it had been an immediate purchase of Meteor for the Typhoon IMHO
Still it's good news.

Meteor? I worked on the project when it was BVRAAM, before the name Meteor, and whilst still in competitive tender phase. I'm not certain, but didn't it have an ISD of around 2008? Any sign of it entering service this decade?

Why?
We already have them. They are being stored in depot, we just haven't got a platform that can fire them yet!:sad:
