How on earth does a German come across the colloquial English phrase "a bit of 'ow's yer father!"
A term not in popular usage here since the 1950's

Do you know what squadron the Typhoon in your image belongs to Mike? Just wondering if it was my Brother in Law's, or maybe even him piloting. He used to intercept Bears with 17 Squadron, 2005 I think.
Then it's not him.
The aircraft shown is a Typhoon F2 of Block 2B, S/N "ZJ392", which went into service on November 10 2006 as 36th Typhoon fighter aircraft of the RAF.
The plane has later been upgraded to FGR.4 standard and is in service with the
XI (F) Sqaudron at RAF Coningsby.
17 Squadron by the way is usually an OEU and as such was at RAF Coningsby in 2005-2013. Nowadays they fly the F-35B at Edwards AFB.
