Not sure about the 2007 delivery date. The RAF's understanding is that deliveries started in 2003 to 17(R) Sqn at Warton, for development and testing. The first Coningsby sqn was activated in 2005, Typhoon took over responsibility for UK QRA in 2007 and was formally declared as an air defence platform on 1 Jan 2008. [EDIT - as Rhino has just said while I was typing. Doh...]
