Nice pics, that's a very long nose probe on this aircraft, is it a test vehicle ??

From Daco Decals web site: -

J-066 is used by the Royal Netherlands Air Force for the test and evaluation of the release of various weapons, missiles, fuel tanks, etc.
On test aircraft, all non-standard internal wiring ('jumpers') are coloured orange, so this jet acquired the nickname "Orange Jumper".

Thanks Alan, for about 6 runs it was workable with the 400mm but then went high again, there were two guys on the bank and if they were taking photo's we can expect some good shots if FC members.
