That's definitely a Rafale kyle. Well done. You can see the centre line tank, and all most make out the refueling prob!
Now the question is.. which one was it?
I've worked out its from 11F out of Landivisiau. But that's all!

The information pulled down to Grahams PlanePlotter was corrupt, incorrect, no good, means nothing or in plain English - is broken. ;-)

Edit: never seen that before, I type B*uggered (remove *) and it displays, broken. I edit and it says B*uggered, not broken. darn forum is PC now! (darn = B*loody) I give up.

Worth a note. In this mouths Aviation News in the base movements section (and for culdrose )they have for the 20/5 the above French navy Rafale and being from 12F (as I thought) with its tail number as being 28
Quite where or how they managed to pin it down I'm not sure but it's good enough for me.
So that ties that up nicely

Hi, just checked the Scramble database and they have no M28 in service - it jumps from M26 - M30 but no M28.

Scramble is obviously missing at least one then.

Scramble do have a Rafale M serial 28 - but they list it as being with ETR01.092 (should be ETR02.092??) which is based at BA113 St. Dizier/Robinson AB and is the joint Air Force/Navy training unit for the Rafale.

I C what you mean kyle, that pic on that site does show M28 nicely, perhaps Scramble are not that accurate with there database?
