Saudi to replace their Tornado F3s...

With Typhoons...

Good news for BAES! ;D Interestingly, although they will come from the initial RAF Tranche 2 airframes, the production run will be extended to fill the gap, so the RAF are still on target for 232...  :)

And hopefully with further fund the cause for the Tranche 3 airframes, just looking at what could be included in those, is enough to make most pilots pee their pants ;D
