Wearing a bit thin now.
Talk of replacement/substitute jets after the event is nonsense. The same pilot in same jet flew again (outstandingly) just hours later - that's four flights one the same day and two more on subsequent days -says a lot about platform reliability - any F3s/F-16s capable of that?
Every stakeholder from flyers to spectators would wish to avoid similar situations ever occuring again. However it is likely that they will at some time in the future because sh1t happens.
At the end of the day, as a tax payer it is comforting to know that, in Typhoon, the RAF has a jet with the systems, agility and power to deal with such a scenario - and pilots with the balls to ride it through.
