ORAC, I'm sure you are right for now and the foreseable future but with a Typhoon OSD of 2040 (and probably later) how long will it be justifiable to maintain them for that single role.
Maybe - but I was still launching and controlling Binbrook Lightnings on SQRA into the late 1980s. Over 10 years after the fleet had been reduced to just one base and 2 squadrons - 5 and 11 (I’ll disregard the LTF).
