Saudi's in Lincolnshire. 05/09/2013

With all the talk of the saudi's possibly attending cobra worrior this year it made me think about the last time they were en mass in Lincolnshire at Coningsby in september 2013. The following are a few shots from the deployment :-

Thanks for these, another one I was unable to get to sadly. Some nice shots, the only Saudi Typhoons I saw were on a tour of Warton in late 2008, but cameras were not permitted of course.
