Typhoon is now well and truly in service? The CVFs we have to go ahead with because it would be cheaper than cancelling while at this embryo stage. We have to buy 160 Typhoons, simply because its cheaper than buying fewer and the older airframes will be sold on. If you ask me, Typhoon is beating the carriers in the not quite a waste of rations argument at the moment!

Really, the subjective comments about what the UK Defence Community can't do without and can easily dispense with is comically evident on pprune military. We're all up for the Lewis Page award!
