New support facilities for the RAF's advanced Typhoon jets were unveiled in a ceremony at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire last week

BAE Systems has built upon the experience gained on other aircraft support contracts to ensure that Typhoon will benefit from a partnering arrangement with the MOD, designed to maximise aircraft availability for the front line.

Over its initial five-year life, the TAS contract will create about 150 jobs and help to safeguard up to 350 more at Coningsby and at the BAE Systems' sites at Samlesbury and Warton in Lancashire.
