Sadly, and not wishing to fall for a 'wah', it's a bit late to bin Typhoon. Cancellation payments will cost as much, if not more, than buying them. If you want to save cash you've got to look at future programs and only the SDSR will (should!) be able to do that.
Talking of finally getting rid of assets used in the Cold War reminded me of watching the Trooping of The Colour last night .... when were horses and horse towed artillery last used on operations....? Whats more expensive - the Red Arrows or stabling / food etc for all the Kings/Queen horses... (because there seemed to be a lot of the latter crapping on Horseguards yesterday!)?
