Re: Saudi Arabia commits to Eurofighter Typhoon deal

This is way of topic but..........
ARINC
When I was at Dharhan 88/89 the F15 were maintained soley by the Saudis.
GR and F3 Tonkas were BAEs with trainee Saudis for educating (entertaining ).
The whole thing strikes me as a very clever way to keep British jobs and oil safe for a long time yet! and of course deprive the RAF of spares and aircraft for a while longer. c/f the introduction of GR1 and F3.
