Thank you very much everyone, some great suggestions to follow up....
Can you asure me that 1 Sqn's arrival there will change any of that? It would be tempting to say a Harrier, having a significant Airfix content, might survive. But is that the image the Fighter Squadron wishes to adopt?
Courtney, the only thing I can assure you is that we would look after any aircraft as best we could. I think that 1(F) Sqn achieved some great and ground-breaking things while flying the Harrier (including during my posting there) and it would thus be a very fitting aircraft to be guarding our gates today as we develop into a mature Typhoon sqn.
Just got to get hold of one now....
