British-made Typhoon jet production ‘essentially stopped’ as orders dry up

The Telegraph  

Production of UK-made Typhoon jets has “essentially stopped” amid fears the Royal Air Force will buy US-made aircraft instead. But union chiefs have warned that with that work now winding up, and no similar orders outstanding, “essentially production has stopped for British-built Typhoon aircraft”. At the same time, workers have been left rattled by reports that UK officials are currently leaning towards buying more F-35 stealth jets from US giant Lockheed Martin instead of ordering more Typhoons. “This would be a hammer blow to the British aircraft industry and potentially could end the design, manufacture and assembly of fast jets in this country, seriously damaging our sovereign capability.”
