Typhooey - mild mannered janitor?
Ok, for what little it's worth.........
Really pleased for the RAF that they managed to get Typhoon into service avoiding all the 'Savings in Efficiency' that this government just loves ("A pound spent on Defence is a pound wasted" to quote Gordon Brown) and it is, undoubtedly a fantastic aeroplane with a significant AD capability. The fact that it doesn't have the legs or the Multi-role potential of a Strike Eagle is because it was designed to defend the UK ADR - not the Air Force's fault, but good on them for trying to make it MR and, therefore, more use than tits on a fish.
What annoys people (Army, RN, RAF (non-AD FJ and everyone else)) is the ridiculous attitude of some of the people associated with this aircraft. It appears to be a hangover from the Lightning/Phantom/F3 "We're Air Defenders don't you know" and the assumption that because you are not flying AD FJ that you must be pond-life. Can't say I've experienced it yet personally from the F2 crowd but had enough from the F3 fleet. A pyschologist will probably tell me that it is a throwback to infancy - like the two-year old with a new toy that won't share but likes to shove it in your face.
When the F2 gets its undercarriage dirty/sandy and starts to support the significant numbers of UK military personnel risking life and limb in the service of HMG (like the GR community (Fly Navy) or the SH community (oh, Fly Navy again) then, by all means, cock-on. Until then, please, stop making yourself look silly and grow up.
