Re: Heads Up another Typhoon delivery 26/04/18
Thanks for that!
Out of curiosity, I have the following jets listed as hold over/stored at Warton
ZK355
ZK360
ZK363
ZK370
Are these not considered long term storage?
Cheers!

Re: Heads Up another Typhoon delivery 26/04/18
I purposefully didnt include these for reasons given in response postings.
Also ZK370 has been used for ground trials "on and off" (please see my image in UK Serials of it outside at Warton). Hence I didnt include that one within the long term storage criteria. There is some method in my madness!
ZK350 (BS111) was also used for development use/ground trials but is now in storage presume awaiting repair after damage sustained in Feb 2016. So heading for long term storage!!

good info!
Thanks for that!
I wonder if the retained jets will ever see squadron service...
Thanks again!

Re: Heads Up another Typhoon delivery 26/04/18
ZJ804 and ZK315 were once part of the trials fleet at Warton, and have served with both 29 and 41. So I suppose it depends how desperate they are to get another 2 units along with 12 Sqn
Re: Heads Up another Typhoon delivery 26/04/18
Good point
