Hi there,

You don't happen to know the details of Devil 1, 2 which night stopped @ Leuchars yesterday and left this morning (2/11/2018) @ 10.11. One was a 25 Sqn marked jet and the other a 4 Sqn jet.

Thanks,

Michael

which means that the 25(F) Sqn Hawks should be coded in sequence...surprise, surprise as...

ZK025/FA
ZK026/FB
ZK027/FC
ZK028/FD
ZK029/FE
ZK030/FF
ZK032/FG
ZK033/FH
ZK034/FI
ZK035/FJ

Sounds feasible, mind you on 16Sqn Tornado we didn’t have ‘FA’ & that was way before the ‘PC’ brigade surfaced!!!

Good job they don't have enough jets to get as far as O or U.....

Ah the BDR guys at Wyton definitely got away with that on the pair of Canberras used for training!!

Like the replies..I was wondering about FA! Original post I put an exclamation next to FA entry but then removed it...

Why is ZK031 missing from that list of possible serial number / code tie-ups?

That's a very good point!

A few little snippets from a non-spotter!
1] ZK031 is noted as flying in Oct 2018 in 4 Sqn markings & from that I deduce....nothing?
2] "Fairly boring couple of days. 25 Sqn have a new addition in ZK026:FB plus ZK025:P which is in 4Sqn markings has the 25Sqn Boss's name on the nose" is in the preamble to 'TAFFEVANS » Fri Nov 02, 2018 2:01 pm posting of 'RAF Valley 30.10 & 1.11.18' in Current Military photography above. Not ideal but does get over sweet 'FA' ?
3] It's not clear or known to me which Units ZK027 & 028 (ZK029 as 25 Sqn/FE in shots noted!) ZK030 & ZK032 - 037 are currently flying with & in what markings?

[TAFFEVANS]
