For those australians in the canberra area... Unfort I can't go as tied up with other work issues. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ UNCLASSIFIED THE EUROFIGHTER TYPHOON – CAPABILITY BRIEF Wing Commander Jez Attridge, MBE RAF The Eurofighter Typhoon is a twin-engine, canard-delta wing, multirole, generation 4.5 strike-fighter aircraft. It is being designed and built by a consortium of three separate partner companies: Alenia Aeronautica, BAE Systems, and EADS working through a holding company Eurofighter GmbH which was formed in 1986. The series development of the Typhoon is underway with the aircraft in operational service with the Royal Air Force, the Luftwaffe, the Italian Air Force, the Spanish Air Force and the Austrian Air Force. Saudi Arabia has signed a GB £4.43 billion (approx. AUD 10.3 billion) contract for 72. The Typhoon is growing in capability as the series develops; those in operational service today will evolve over time. In this presentation, WGCDR Attridge will provide some insights into the capabilities and strategic implications of the introduction of a current generation aircraft. Wing Commander Jez Attridge Jez Attridge is currently attending the Australian Command and Staff College at Weston Creek. He flew the Tornado F3 from 1991 to 1999, the F/A-18 on exchange duties with the USMC from 1999 - 2002 and latterly the Eurofighter Typhoon from 2005-7. He will take command of XI Sqn (Typhoon) in April 2008. The seminar will commence promptly at 1030 hours. As this seminar is expected to be well attended we require interested delegates to register their attendance prior to the seminar to ensure a seat.

By the way gf, any idea what the APS/DMO district allowance for Darwin is these days?

I think the district allowance for Darwin died in the last DECA (need to check though).

No, district allowance for Darwin is alive and well. I get about $3200 a year from it.

Thanks guys.  Sums don't work out, which is a shame because it was a very interesting role.  Ah well will keep my eyes open for something that pays better.
