ZK430 a non flyer was parked at the far end of the ASP behind the 41 sqn Typhoons

Can anyone confirm ZK433 was there as well? We saw an unmarked Typhoon being towed away in the morning but didn't manage to read it off but we're reliably informed that it was ZK433 no marks

Just looking for additional confirmation

ZK433 was parked at the end of the 29 Sqn line closest to the road first thing in the morning and was unmarked.

The Typhoons are scattered around the 3 sqn shelter area

Is there only 3 Italians at Waddington? I heard there was due to be some more?
Kind regards.

Just the three at the present parked at the Harmston Road end near the two Phenoms.
All without covers as seen yesterday.

Thanks for the log. Was at ETNS that morning for the departing GAF Tornados but they lef in two three-ships with only the leading machines having turned on the transponders followed by the single 46+44.
