I take it you mean Saudi Tonkers as I thought Tranche 3 had gone to the oil rich fiefdom?

They work perfectly well for an airframe designed almost 40 years ago, the first prototype flying only 34 years ago and only been in service for almost 28.

It never sulks and is well behaved. Where did it say that GR Sqns were being replaced? Or are you after a story?

most of the navigators are leaving, we are WSO's now. I think the Typhoon is still way too unreliable, and suffers from to many software integration problems to make any swift changes, but soon.....
