You're welcome =)

I'll have to wait for that five page article because it doesn't work for me right now. =( I'm sure it'd be well worth the wait though, Air Forces Monthly always have great news of whats going on, reading about it will keep me busy at work on that day....Customers that want to buy a guitar or whatever will just have to wait hehehe

Theron, thanks, you've just reminded me about something there, I have a Air Internantional magazine, and with it there was a free magazine about the Typhoon, telling you pretty much what its been doing from day one up until late 2007, it has an weapons option diagram showing the range of weapons loads for different roles. Not sure if its the same as what you've seen though. But this is what it says. (Not my words).
