Saudi Typhoon diverted in whilst on delivery flight

Post by TombsRIP » Fri Dec 05, 2014 1:49 pm

Twin-seat Typhoon ZK399/RSAF1021 (CT18) diverted in with a problem whilst on a ferry (delivery) flight from Warton.

The other a/c single seat ZK394/RSAF1023 returned to Warton, where they had both departed at 0950Z

It was parked right outside the slot where I work - was a nice little diversion for a few minutes to watch it land and taxy in !

ZK394/CS029 departed warton at just after 10am today c/s "WTN01A" with a join up en route with ZK399/CT018.

think the twin seater had had an ECS problem causing the diversion.

RJ85 G-LENM c/s WTN02 arr on fri around 1615L (tracked on planefinder)
