The Times: Take-off for RAF squadorn flying £45m Eurofighter Typhoons
The first RAF squadron formed entirely of Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft is to be established this week, 30 years after the fighter jet was conceived. No 3 (Fighter) Squadron will be formally launched at RAF Cottesmore in Rutland on Saturday, although the squadron will not be ready for operations until next year........

Just a simple question before the mud slinging starts, could 3 be ready to show the flag more effectively than 6 can now, and will continue to be able to do so for the next 18 months, providing any sort of capability that really matters in the current climate? 
ORAC,
Wow, I never realised the "fighter jet" was only concieved in 1976!
3 Sqn on Typhoon at RAF Cottesmore? Shurely some mistake? I also thought that both 17 and 29 were composed "entirely" of Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft?
Bob Viking,
A quick question, when Shi**y Six move from Coltishall to Coningsby, will they leave their ground crew behind?
Pr00ne
ex-54, apparantly BEFORE the invention of the 'fighter jet'

Presumably they mean 30 years after the AST403, EuropHoon, FCA, EF Y2K, ACA, EAP or whatever it was called back then was first conceived? Rather than any 'fighter jet'?
1972 was the AST403 specification date, nicht wahr?

Op Runway Denial
ZH875, be careful, you may shatter some delicate and overinflated egos in Lincolnshire. I do look forward to the first operational deployment, or even a good Opeval result, you know, like the Jags and Tonkas and Harriers have actually achieved, delivering the goods, on target, on time. Suppose 2010 might see it happen?
