In the latest issue of Air Forces Monthly there is a photograph of ZK301 on an Op Shader mission with the tail-code 'EW'

(updated for you for future reference, Mike

The forum may enjoy our recent interview with RAF Typhoon pilot, Roger Cruickshank.

Probably went to China Lake on 19 September, and came back to Coningsby on 23 November as EB-L. Presumably already coded as that during September?

Thanks to all for the continuing info stream, TM74

Got a tour of Leuchars a few of years ago and he was the pilot who showed us around a Typhoon in a HAS, top guy.

Can anyone provide the CAT 4 mishap date for Typhoon FGR4 ZJ922/QO-C please.

What mishap?

I don't know, I am trying to find out why the aircraft has not flown since around 2010 and is now a training airframe at Warton.

I thought I read somewhere that ZJ922 had suffered a hard landing and was awaiting rebuild

Sorry if that is inaccurate

Cheers!

John I think that is ZJ944, ZJ922 had a Bird strike and was damaged in a very heavy landing on it's return
if my mind remembers right.
Shuck I will go back in my movements and let you know the date.

I read elsewhere here that ZK320 came out of the paint shed with "320" on the tail where the code used to be...

Looks like another step towards neutering the fleet...

Post by **Steven** » Tue Feb 21, 2017 12:25 am

Just to keep everyone updated we now have several Typhoons with a numerical tail-code - like the Tornado fleet but instead feauturing the three digits of the serial of the aircraft - all the Typhoons are due to receive this code by the summer. So far we have:

ZJ814/814 - Typhoon T3 - 29(R) Sqn
ZK317/317 - Typhoon FGR4 - Unmarked
ZK320/320 - Typhoon FGR4 - Unmarked
ZK330/330 - Typhoon FGR4 - Unmarked
ZK347/347 - Typhoon FGR4 - Unmarked
