Typhoon news or already covered in other topic?

[ORAC]

Hmmm, that's a very misleading description of the article.

First off, The article say's that the additional aircraft will be, " sold to foreign allies to help pay for the cost of the aircraft."

The main, and very controversial, point of the article is Torpy forecasting the demise of the FAA...

RAF chief predicts controversial takeover of Royal Naval air power

Glenn, Option 2 - maybe it's time to disband the RAF and give it back to the Army and RNAS!!!

1435 Flight in new colours?

Pontius. When you suggested that

Typhoon tranche 1 will be replaced by the tranche 3 and possibly allowed to moulder away in a shed somewhere with some going to museums,

did you have the Death Star in mind?

Seems like speculation elsewhere on the Typhoon's inaugural overseas mission is getting quite close to reality. Scroll down this link to find two pics taken recently at RAF Coningsby labeled: ZJ950 1435FLIGHT/3SQN TYPHOON FGR.4.

While I await news of the other three, I wonder which of the many barren rocks they will be able to use for target practice when they get down there.
