RAF training cuts leave Typhoons idle

From the Daily Telegraph:

The Royal Air Force's most advanced warplanes have been unable to drop bombs on Libyan targets because defence spending cuts mean that pilots are not fully trained, The Telegraph can disclose.

An MoD spokesman said: "We have sufficient Typhoon aircrew with appropriate training for all the systems and weapons to undertake the current tasks."
Oh, of course you have. How silly of the paper to have suggested otherwise...
