XI Sqn, Typhoon F2, and the RAF Website
XI Sqn's entry on the RAF Website states that the sqn will
Some questions then:
If the sqn will be multi-role, why is it listed under the air defence and airborne early warning section of the RAF Website?
When the Typhoon F2 is multi-role:
Will stand up on 29 Mar 07 as the lead multi-role Typhoon Squadron.

When the Typhoon F2 is multi-role:
Will it need to change its type designator from F2 - could we see a return of an FGR into the orbat?
Will the RAF website stop listing it as a defensive aircraft (alongside Sentry and Tornado F3?
Dull I know, but it is a grey afternoon.

Further down the website, under 'History' it says:
XI Squadron will stand up at RAF Coningsby on 29 Mar 07 as the second frontline Typhoon squadron to form. As multi-role lead squadron, it will spearhead the development of Typhoon’s air-to-surface capability, which will be ready for deployed operations by mid-08.
That amplifies things a little.
Mind you, it also says that the Squadron's time with the Lightning, 1967 to 1988, totalled 17 years!
