Crikey mate, calm down!
Don't forget that there is also Q up North and down South plus the Falkland Islands. Your 1.5 Sqns won't go far... Also CAS wants Typhoon to go Afghanistan soonest - with a ground attack capability. The F3 is apparently going to be doing some of the test firing for BVRAAM "Meteor" because Typhoon is being advanced for air-to-ground trials at a faster pace.
It might be the RAF's new wonderjet but it can't be everywhere at once!
Believe me, the old landshark is going to the great scrapyard in the sky sooner or later (not before time, as well - she was only supposed to be a 15year stop-gap for EFA); but it would be a bit silly to get rid of her before the Eurofrightener can take over. We would look a right bunch of tw@ts getting caught with our pants down having already got rid of the SHAR recently.

Yes, mate, I was little optamistic
! They'd probably tell you that you don't have right clearances to know the info anyway - clucking anchors
