Many thanks - I was just curious, because a member of the local pub experten was recently telling anyone who'd listen that we could've had EAP in Sqn service by 1990, and that the decision to "bin it" and go for Typhoon was a total waste (and worse, pro-European! ).

I'd not dispute that the management of the Typhoon programme could er, be "improved", but it did sound like little-Englandism to try and cast EAP as another TSR-2 might-have-been.

Out of interest, what happened to the EAP airframes?
