Typhoons at Al'Dhafra

How did the Typhoons fare at Al'Dhafra?

The french seem to think their favourite toy got the better of the Typhoon. From what I have heard, however, the RAF didn't allow the Typhoon to go up against the Rafale. What's the truth?

The truth is out there, at least one of the PPRuNing journos is working on it through proper channels, and that truth will emerge in the fullness of time.

The impression given thus far is, at best, misleading.

Would it be safe to assume the Rafale chaps are desperate enough to aid in securing an export order, by embellishing their success at the cost of others, even through official channels?

As the popular (though not with me) vocal beat combo Take That would say:
