All the crews that have been getting into Typhoons this morning have been told
to make the jets safe as they will not be going anywhere.

That doesn't sound good.
No NOTAMs, nothing wrong with the weather, you may well be right :/

Sounds like it could be a problem with the base it'self rather the Typhoons? They've just told a student pilot they are currently not accepting any traffic and their not allowing any "outbound" traffic either

43C6DB has just launched , so he certainly ain't grounded

It's not a grounding, there's a situation on camp which is preventing anything going in or out.
