Leeming F3 Wing Exercise - early noughties (Updated)

[F3]

Whilst searching out pics for a previous post I came across a set of a Leeming F3 wing exercise some time around the turn of the millenium, before the 2nd. Gulf War. As can be seen it was a time of transition in the F3 fleet with jets of the same sqn. in a variety of mks. and many with none at all. Note the '98 display jet ZK on the flightline.
Update - Whilst browsing some misc. files chanced upon another image from this set showing ZE168 which went onto become the only F3 ever to achieve air to air kills whilst on ASRAAM firing trials in the States on '02 when it downed two QF4E drones whilst with the F3OEU.

Good to see any stuff from Leeming Mick.I did manage to catch that ZE 737 registration as it went out for the second Gulf time. I'll have to look through my old negatives for F3 stuff
from the old haunt by the A1...

That's a very pleasing shot of the '94 Display jet John. I'm sure Dave will love it!
