Given that the RAF is being down sized, and probably will be again in the not too distant future, will we have enough people to service and maintain 232 Typhoon's? When we become the Royal Flying Corps and lose our identity as a service whats to stop the Army selling the lot at a knock down price? JSF, don't make me laugh! Overpriced and over complicated, they will be years late and grossly over budget. I bet you all a NAAFI doughnut that we never get the carriers to fly them off anyway, Gordon ''I've suddenly become a nice bloke....honest guv'' will see to that the moment he gets the keys to number 10. Good abreviation for you BOHICA.........bend over here it comes again.

SEVEN SQNS!? Three at Con (inc OCU), two at Leu, and two at??? So assuming realistic 5 sqns (232/5 = 46.4) - even having each sqn store 10 fer attrition there will be greater than 2 jets per pilot on each outfit - whoppee! CFT no snags!!
