Typhoon

[craig1983]

Except the rear fuselage, that rocks (Mostly because of good old British workmanship in British factories ) Otherwise it's rubbish

I had the pleasure of designing a good few parts on the aft fuse.....so I'm not so sure if it rocks! You working down in Warton or Samlesbury?? Tryin to think of a few names I know on Typhoon....lets see if you know any of them......Neil Branford/Jon Morton/Steve Downall/Jason Turner......think they're all on design tho with the exception of Neil. I wouldn't mind getting back down there to work....I moved back up to work on Herti then Nimrod at Prestwick....and I've somehow managed to end up on the Aircraft Carrier in Scotstoun shipyard, possibly the dullest job I've ever had!

??? The Squadrons are being disbanded as F3 squadrons and then stood up again later as Typhoon Squadrons last thing I heard?

43 Sqn are to finish in Sept this year. So that a F3 Tornado Sqn for those who dont know.

111 Sqn will be the only F3 Sqn holding the fort, until 6 Sqn Typhoon will be be arriving at Leuchars Oct 2010.

I'm currently a REMF so miles from anything interesting/dangerous. I'm Warton based, working in ILS but the g/f is Typhoon flight test. Trying to get into Airworthiness to get at least near a jet from time to time, running databases all day is currently doing my swede, bit of a bitch as it's just become my job

Good to know Leuchars is safe for the future then!
