The RAF has 55 aircraft (Typhoon)
Erm Does it? What's all this the future is here talk I though they had 6 now 5 depending on tits-up status gee, 17 and 29 sure must have been surprised when those extra 49 aircraft suddenly turned up?
the "in service" report was also a laugh to me, aren't they under going an RAF operational evaluation and therefore not actually "in service" quite yet.
Excuse the cynicism I'm not RAF bashing just seems that is the same all over- wherever you are, "in service" and "Value for money" is much talked about but never seems to actually occur.
Seems its good enough so why hype it up or pre-announce where it actually is in the program?
