Saudi AF Typhoon question...

Does anybody know the official type designations of the Saudi AF's Typhoon fleet? Do they follow the designation the RAF use/used, T.1/F.2/T.3/FGR.4 or, do they follow the BAE style designation, like the Lightnings, of F.53/T.55?

I don't think they can make their minds up. They've been called T2 and F52 etc. We just call them Typhoons!

Thanks, AGS Man, it looks like I have a collection of photos on my hard drive which are going to remain 'type, unknown'!

You mean actually use the aircraft for which they were designed?

Fat chance of that ever happening in that area!
