Any idea of the contract, if possible guys?

[Brit plumber]

Possibly sold to the Irish from U.K. Stocks. Happens a lot in the current defence industry. The RAF sold a number of their Typhoons to oversees buyers and then purchased a new contract which are yet to be built.

And on a slight Tangent, we just witnessed our first Typhoon being scrapped or "Harvested" as they call it (RTP for Typhoon).

It does seem difficult to understand the logic of those who make the decisions, at times, especially since we still operate the Tornado GR4 aircraft which is much older. Wasn't it just batch 1 aircraft of the Typhoon fleet that may be sold, B.P.?

Was that the example we were discussing a while ago BP that "pancaked" with only a few hours on the airframe some years back ... Or have they already started on the T birds?

F10, the RAF diverted block 2 production to enable expedited delivery to Saudi Arabia.

The RAF is replacing these with Block 3 jets.
