Hi can I ask what runway the Typhoons use for departures and what direction?
The QRA practiye Typhoon used RW28 28.
Thanks Kris

[vulcanxl425]

Kris the Typhoons will use the active runway which is 23/05. Runway 23 landing from north coming in over the beach.With 05 sometimes in use landing from the south and on departure head north over the airfield and golf course.
QRA "live" use shorter 10/28 runway and normally take off to the east before going on track.

The Q bird went off runway 10.
For those interested it was ZJ923, callsign Kilo 1 Oscar 01

Yes Niall it did seem strange that a Q jet would go all that way.
