IT might be over budget and years late but the Eurofighter
Typhoon has shown that it can shake off America's best fighter
plane and shoot it down.
A chance encounter over the Lake District between a Eurofighter
trainer and two F-15 aircraft turned into a mock dogfight, with the
British plane coming off best - much to the surprise of some in the
RAF. The episode was hushed up for fear of causing US
blushes.
