Typhoon deployment
As someone whose only experience of single-seater fixed-wing was in a Chipmunk in basic training, could someone verify the non-stop deployment of Typhoons from UK to the Falklands. The quoted 18 hours sounds an unbelievable amount of time to sit in a seat with no chance of stretching your legs let alone meeting more urgent needs. It far exceeds any other single-pilot flight-time I've ever heard of, never mind the concentration required to take on fuel after say, 16/17 hrs in the air.
