The benefit in RTPing these Typhoons is not so much in the financial value of the spares harvested as in the saving on maintenance, storage and airworthiness management of aircraft that do not have the required operational capability and are no longer required for training purposes. Essentially, they had become surplus to requirements, so why waste money keeping them going? A no-brainer.
