I can't remember where, but I seem to have a snippet in my head about the RAF lobbying Wallace & Cummings (or whoever it is) for an additional two Typhoon Squadrons? Were it so, then a buy of the 15 the Austrians have would help remedy this aspiration, at least to the tune of a single squadron!? Further, the Austrians, as has been suggested, could have a chat with the Belgians, Dutch, Danes and Norwegians about picking their pick of the soon to be surfeit of F-16s.
