Qatari Typhoons

Post by fatherfaff » Mon Jul 25, 2022 2:17 pm

Hi, hope this is in the right place, but I'm trying to tie up the latest Typhoons coming off the line at Warton for the Qatari AF. I think it looks like this with c/n, UK serial, Qatari serial, Hex Code, first flight date:

MS001 ZR505 QA404 06A2OD 25/11/21 Full Qatari colours by 9/5/22
MS002 ZR506 06A2OE 12/1/22
MS003 ZR507 06A2OF 31/3/22
MS004 ZR508 9/5/22
MS005 ZR509 06A211 17/6/22
? ZR501 Seen in yellow primer 6/7/22

Also seen 6/7/22 was QA407 in full Qatari colours - perhaps ZR506?

Not sure if any have been delivered yet.

Can anyone add anything further?

Please check my daily logs all info there and these do indeed mirror ukserials.com

One note is that ZR506 is now fully marked and wears ‘QA405’ as of 9th May

I reckon the painters have put the wrong digit on the tail and it will be changed prior to delivery (assuming that somebody notices lol)!

Your hex codes as wrong. Replace O (oscar) with 0 (zero) in all instances.

Has ZR506 been seen since it was reported as wearing QA505? It should be wearing QA405 now.

I suspect that they'll 'hop' rather than be tanked...

QA400 seen Warton south side today, fully painted up. No other markings noted as only the fin was visible. I assume this is the first 2-seater.

It should be yes, and will probably wear ZR501 as well.
