Ah now.. There are two Typhoons. I think you are talking about this one. That found its niche after the D-Day and supported allied forces with air to ground rocket attacks, during the 2nd world war.
Where at the Typhoon that people are discussing here is the "Eurofighter typhoon"
There is only one example of the Hawker typhoon left in the world which is a non flying exhibit which I think is in the RAF museum in london, so no likelihood of that ever flying again.
The Eurofighter on the other hand are always flying around down here especially over north Norfolk where they do training out over the wash and like to play with the Americans from Lakenheath and the privately owned jets from the dog fighting companies.
(there are actual companies that own and operate fighter jets for the sole purposes of combat training with the armed forces, usually piloted by highly experianced but forces retured combat pilots)
I knew a ground crew guy who worked with the English Electric Lightning. One took off from here at RAF Coltishall and landed at RAF Lossiemouth 15 minutes later. which worked out to something like 1600mph with the distance being around 400 miles. and it was known to be able to do well in excess of its "official" top speed. The pilots used to refer to it as flying a jet engine with wings attached as there was little more to it than that. it was a truly insane aircraft, the likes of which we won't see again as it was developed in a time where you had to outrun the enemy, these days you might outrun the enemy but you won't outrun missiles so top speed doesn't matter anymore.
