Yea thanks for the information there, a great resource, I might have to hit "Ctrl P" :-) If anyone has anything like this for Waddington I would love to see it posted. I have the regular aircraft but bet there is stuff I don't know about.

I have something against tree's Mike, must have been something in my childhood. I like to keep a folder with me when I am out and about spotting, but to be fair I wouldn't print it unless I was going over to Coningsby, it was just the first thing that came to my mind to show my appreciation. As you have probably noticed the first thing I think of often makes it's way out.

Call signs :-

“Typhoon 52 – 59″,”Apollo”- “Rebel “-”Viking”- “Zircon” – “Adnam”.

Typhoon T3

◾ZK303/AX/41(R)TES :- First visit to CBY in marks 12/8/13. (Loan to Bae Test fleet) Noted Warton 12/10/13 – Arrived at Coningsby 4/11/13 – back to Warton 13/11/13
Returned to Coningsby 7/1/14.
Excellent base list plus frequencies - just a few minor comments to add

ZK303/AX (BT017/ISPA5) was flown back to Warton on 9th Jan 14 by Tarnish 05 (having been flown over there previously on 7th Jan as you correctly state). As you are well aware it F/F on 25/08/10, first arrived at Coningsby on 21/01/11 but returned to Warton on 22/03/11, where it spends the majority of its time in support of Typhoon development.

Of the 41TES callsigns the Tonkas use "Rebel 8*" with Typhoons as you say using "Rebel 5*"

today (16th April) and yesterday ZK303 was flying from Warton using callsign "Rebel 57"

Hi Martin


The TYphoon 52-59 was the 17TES callsigns , Rebel 41 is also a Tonka callsign, as Warton with Tarnish the pilots of 41TES have their own numbers as in Rebel 83,84,87 and Typhoons Rebel 57.

DS was ZK347 which is now (i think) EF with 6 sqn.

EF/ZK347 is out in the USA with the detachment that went out to Red Flag, although they have done that and are now at Joint Base Langley Eustis or whatever Langley AFB is called now.

There are a couple of pics on the base web page as well

During Anatolian Eagle, a Typhoon FGR.4 with code DS was seen. Is this ZJ938?

DS is ZJ928, '938 is un-coded and is part of the test-fleet at Warton.

ZJ928 is listed in Kevin's first post at the start of the thread as DS. :)
