From the Telegraph article...

Wing Co Gavin Parker, officer commanding of XI Squadron, which took delivery of the latest fighters, said: "The Typhoon is already an exceptional air-to-air fighter and is demonstrating excellent potential in the air-to-surface role. It will make it a fantastic close air support machine."
As long as they can find the target! XI Squadron couldn't even find their Standard presentation parade at RAF Coningsby! Still Tattershall Castle deserved another fly-past since the Tornado F3s did the last AOC's BVR flypast back in the 90s

Maybe the Taleban will hole up in a Tattershall Castle mock-up?
