Or
"Now look what you've done! I've told you before - close the bloomin' back door before you get the butty boxes out"!
Or
"Here he comes again - quick, pass me the bucket of water"!
Or
"Hang on, I'll show him my elephant impression "!

Amazing pictures, btw!

My apologies wrote the response to quick, should have read radome, as will have been noticed the Typhoon does not have a probe.

The purpose of the shots were to provide "in Flight" footage of the a/c although the (film) industry can provide gyro stabilized cams the loss of quality required by zooming is a trade off, hence the closer a craft can get to the camera gives a better shot you will see them used in the vid showing the plane flying with the pilot clearly visible from the front, those are the shots used(if that makes sense)

From the text above the clip:
This film came about because Eurofighter decided it needed to create an impression at air shows. The eight minute film provides an adrenaline rush, rather than the usual corporate stream of facts and figures, however the narrative is designed to support the central message that Eurofighter is a multi-role aircraft capable of dealing with different tasks in the same mission such as air-to-air combat, defence, air support and air-ground combat.
