News channels are now reporting that x4 RAF Typhoons provided air support, for the x4 Tornados involved in the strike early this morning. I noticed that from the Forces TV media report, the first aircraft taking off was a Typhoon?! https://airforcesmonthly.keypublishing.com/2018/04/14/strikes-on-sy...

But with regards to the extra attachment: Wow - mindblowing

Looks like the RAF are going all out for the 100th anniversary. First the Typhoon and now this.....

Maybe got a discount on these as required enough for a whole team?

There appears to be a lot of confusion with the reporting of this, not a lot adds up? How can so many assets operate near Syria without anyone having a clue a strike was in operation as reported by the US? I'd assume the F-15 top cover would of been painting the whole area, looking any interceptors ...

Down to tanker and then back again for another slot, final slot flown by Quina yellow 1 & 2(pair)

French busy again today with quite a few sightings of the delta shapes in the sky...The range is open this evening so expect them back around dusk...

Yes, Rafale...seen most the afternoon working the range..

French Navy Rafale active the past few days.

C-130 though the Bwlch 17.10L, 20-06-2016.
Any ID, callsign or Serial?

Was on Cad east, and he routed up to Bala!

Took a drive though the Elan valley yesterday on the way back home, and my thoughts returned to the exercises that were held in the area during the summer months in the 80''s and early 90's. Do any of the older folks on here remember these and have any stories to recall?? I could not drive then, so ...

Cool shots, love the colours on the Raptor..

They probley filed the sortie as "General handling in LFA7", that way they are free to route/go were they please. Great sight to see them low in the hills, and I'm sure the pilot was more than skilled and the jet had more than enough maneuverability to operate down low.

All aircraft have now left Templeton today, inc the Apache which broke down last night on departure with an engine issue.
Does anyone want a list of the serials of the aircraft?

Another Merlin has just come back into the landing site, been out for around an hour.

Tempelton is currently home to 5x Merlins, 2x Chinooks, 2x Apache and 2x Wildcats. 4x Merlins headed out tonight around 11.30pm,routed to the east very low level in trail formation. Any idea on how long they are stationed there for?? May pop over for a look tomorrow on my way home. Thanks Ben The t...
