If you were a true anorak you'd know that HMG decided to do away with the cannon, then discovered that the cannon fit was critical to the weight/balance set up, and so UK Typhoons now have the cannon, but the RAF does not train on them, nor stock the ammunition, or so I understand.

Hence my ironic post - I just can't see the point of having a weapon and not be ing able to use it, but maybe that's because in my days in green I never carried anything I didn't really need
