Had a good day at CG1 and the mound today.
Heres a selection of non typhoon movements (as they are all a bit samey from the mound)

First movement of the day Widget 01 arrives.

I would "GUESS" that the helmet you've spotted is a lead on from the Harrier Helmet Mounted Cueing program!

Hi Brian.

And if look closely the pilot is wearing a desert flying suit as well in that shot.

Regards.

Hi Guys,
I got a closer shot of the helmet & has was looks like black stick on patches on the helmet, & he was definatly wearing desert camo flight gear. I post it but I still haven't sussed out how to post a picture. :blush: The Typhoon BV which lost its bombs was also flown by a female pilot too. :thumbs:
