2024 Typhoon Display Jet

Edit: looking back on the photos now, the ones on the wings look fine, its the fuselage as thunder stated, especially in this shot:

I agree. I do like it, and hats off to all involved for the effort. But I do wonder if they'd pushed the fuselage stripes back a bit, as per ZK308 in 2014, it would have felt better and perhaps have had the balance that the original Typhoons to wear the stripes did?



One thing I haven't been able to see in a photo yet is if the wing stripes are on the underside too. I have seen a couple of images where you can make out that the fuselage stripes are on the underside, so I'm guessing they are.

I see what you're saying re pushing the stripes further back, but they're spot on for those who love to photograph a "topside pass". If they were further back, the tailfin would break the flow of the stripes.

The previous D-Day jet was a pound shop effort. I saw a rendered proposition for what it should have been at the time - pretty much what "GiNA" became and almost what "Moggy" (sorry, purists!) now is.

I can't wait to sketch it!

Having followed you for a good while now and seen your art through MWM and associated pages, I don't doubt it will be a good one!

I wonder if you combine the 2014 D-Day Stripes Typhoon with GiNA Camouflage would it be similar to Moggie?

Hello Agent K! Isn't it cool how many racing fans are also aircraft fanatics!

Thank you for your kind words. Hoping to work alongside one or two photographers and see what I can come up with. I have a very large (and hopefully very special!) piece in planning, re Typhoons.

That would be quite unrepresentative of the D-Day era, GiNA was in the early 40's brown&green scheme.

There's at least one vid on youtube of them practicing the display early this week. Stripes are on the bottom too.
Interestingly in the video, he displayed over what would be the crowd at an airshow for a lot of it. I assume they'll have to tighten that up and move all of those parts away from the crowd line.

Move what parts away from the crowdline?

Have you misunderstood where the crowd line was? I'm pretty sure they know what they are doing re crowd line distancing? and you wouldn't learn, practice and qualify a display fully then change it just before season start.

Could be. The jet seemed to fly on both sides of what are traditionally "down the runway" moves like the high alpha pass. Might be the video angle. Fantastic display though.

More likely that the video was taken from a random viewing spot rather than where a crowd line would be at an airshow.
