I wonder why 100 Sqn would receive Jags when the other favourite rumour is for the entire Jag fleet to be binned? I'd have thought that contractorisation and use of a few of ze very jolie Alpha Jet (peut-etre) to fill the role would have been more likely- unless Jacko's comments about the platform have been taken on board and the Jag fleet is to expand
Agree with Mr B that removing aircraft from Falklands is likely to be a non-starter.
Have heard again the interesting (and probably false) rumour about Typhoon - that we will get all 232, since we wrote the contract so tightly (to keep the Germans in) that we can't get out, and will instead sell some of the fleet to the Austrians, Greeks and possibly Saudis/Kuwaitis/Omanis (take your pick...) to recoup most of the cash shelled out for them.
