The first two are on the production line so we should get in quick we have a radar already.So it not a major cost.

The first thing is to get the RAF training program back on track.We can not expect to train fast jet pilots overseas .Because any spare capasity will be take up by the home airforces doing what we are try to increase aircrew numbers quickly. Then reopen any UK military airfield with a long runway an...

ZZ666 has just joined them.plus possible photo ship ZM520 just lifted of at Cranwell going south east

The practice has started ZM421,ZZ171,ZP808,ZZ338 are in the holding pattern with ZZ666 possibly joining them all on Fr24

The press release from the government as the link above say 23 aircraft ,this includes the BBMF plus the Red Arrows if so what a insult to the WW 11 veteran's after all it's probably the last opportunity to thank them.
I hope the number is a typo

With the POTUS treatment of Ukraine over the last couple of wèeks can the US be trusted to provide the support necessary to operate the F35B .At least with a Typhoon order we would have control of the support of the aircraft,plus it would keep the UK's factory's working for its replacement.

The new scheme looks pretty good to me. The second one to show an RAF combat scheme from WW2, so someone in the RAF has a sense of heritage. Someone on PPRUNe suggested that the radome is actually made in that colour, so painting is not possible as it would mess up the radar system. At one time, al...

I bet it will not be seen in German airshows. The WW2 Typhoons caused havoc in Normandy it destroyed the German army when use they cab rank tactics .Fac called waves of Typhoons to attack the German army as they retreated at Falaise . That's why the GAF call there aircraft EF2000 Didn’t the ME262 a...
