Probably foolhardy to attempt a straight bat reply amid the banter, but hey. The 48 have always been described as an initial uptake linked with the carriers, with further orders envisaged later but in the context of Typhoon OSD. So it does seem that we're looking at just 7 front line FJ sqns once Tornado is retired, with 5 Typhoon and 2 F35 units covering everything including Tornado replacement. Who'd have thought...
