A sad day indeed if you are less well informed than Lewis Page
How do you mean? My point was that Lewis Page, among others, while deriding the Typhoon for everything have, before now, always begun their verbal attacks by describing it as an air superiority fighter with nothing to fight. And so superfluous. Then going on to say how useless it is as a ground attack aircraft. But to say this is somehow to acknowledge that it is at least an adequate fighter. Personally, I understand from those with anything to do with the Typhoon it is an outstanding air superiority fighter. As for the ground attack side, this is largely, as yet, a case of plenty scope for development. But that development will produce something equally outstanding.

OK sod it, bring tha Harrier back like WEBF says, its the answer to all matters air combat related, obviously!

PS Love the way it goes straight up and down at airshows! A testimony to British engineering and a clear example of an aircraft unbeatable in any other way!!
