Under the Review the T1 Typhoons will only last until 2025. I presume this means 9(B) and 12(B) will follow Tatty Ton onto the retired list unless others are sacrificed instead.

CAS's public position is clearly that RAF operated aggressors are not necessary. I don't think I need to tell most here that as with all statements by a VVSO, it will support the current Government's line irrespective of personal views.
Odd to think that the first of what were the Tornado replacements as such will be binned a scant couple of years after the Tornado.
