Coningsby - Thursday 21st September 2017

Post by razzer56 » Fri Dec 07, 2018 4:33 pm

Can any one help me with the following please:-
I was at Coningsby on the above date between 13.30 & 14.05 and there was a Typhoon wearing full 6 Sqn markings in the 3 Squadron dispersal area. I read it off as ZK 316 but I have subsequently learnt that ZK 318 also in 6 Sqn marks was also on base.
Did any one else see / log either of these craft at this time please

Unfortunately I think this is going to be difficult to tie up definitively. As you say, both ZK316/316 and ZK318/318 were both operating with 3(F) Squadron at this time and both wore full 6 Squadron markings - both aircraft departed to Exercise Magic Carpet on 24th and 25th of September respectively. I would say if you read it off as 316 then stick with 316 as it was definitely there at the time.
