BAE have built around 16 T1's Typhoons.


Well heres a fundamental mistake - there aren't 16 T1s completed yet
(unless
they're hidden in another hangar on site.....

I did this from memory/extrapolation rather than a definite source,
hence the 'around 16' figure, as of Nov 2003 there was supposed to
be 12 or 13 completed, I just added a couple in the couple of months
since!!.

How many are there now (If you can tell me without getting shot).

Less than 8 would be disappointing...:-)

Depends if you count the development jets. Not sure how many are actually
on the flight programme at the minute because of the different activities
they're unergoing (e.g. ground training etc)
