[QUOTE=glad rag;9692423]or armed recce with raptor (pod) and everything else bar the kitchen sink???[/QUOTe
Glad rag.shame that the Mod are intent on retiring the RAF most trusted and most capable fast jet,this on the extremely short sighted policy of only having 2 fast jet types. I don't doubt Typhoon capabilities but it is crystal clear to anyone who understands these things that F35 will not be fully capable by2019. They will never admit it but we will only realise how effective tornado is when it is no longer available.
