yes, in terms of new aircraft. There are still two typhoons at Warton which were used for trials/development work which although delivered/handed over to MoD at Warton, are obviously not in RAF service ie ZK350 (BS111) & ZK370 (BS131). Whether any of these will ever end up being used by a Sqn I don't know.

Cheers

Based on the delivery of ZK438 you will have to wait for it.

ZK439 (BS155) won't be the last one for the RAF and should be delivered by end of week ahead of ZK437/BS153 which hasn't flown yet...(as of Tues 30/7); a "production issue" affecting a certain major unit from another Eurofighter Partner Nation, destined for BS153, resulted in this airframe falling behind BS154 & BS155 in final assy.

Cheers

ZJ922 was removed from the active fleet a number of years ago.
