Gents, this will be my last Coningsby log for a while as I head back to Uxbridge tomorrow.
I hope this helps and I've appreciated all comments made on my previous attempts. Thanks.
Right, this is what I saw on 14/08/2014:

Lancasters:
PA474 (KC-A)
KB726 (VR-A) (FM213)

Spitfires:
MK356 (5J-K)
TE311 (4D-V)

Typhoon T3
ZJ813 - BL
ZJ810 - BI
ZK379 - BB
ZK383 - BN
ZJ814 - BH
ZJ800 - BC

Typhoon FGR4
ZJ927 - BO
ZJ939 - DX-I
ZK308 no tailfin marking but has TP-V on the fuselage with D-Day markings

ZK345 - EP (6 sqn)

Hope there's no mistakes but if there is, all advice and criticisms are welcome.

Cheers

Dave

The simplicity of the ZK308 report is wonderful - this would have been a better display plane 2014, as you can actually see the markings when it turns.

Glenn, was this overshoot on the 14/08/2014?
I pretty sure I saw a Tornado leave Coningsby this morning (15/08/2014).
Can this be confirmed?

Morning Dave.

Yes, it flew through twice yesterday, 14th, and departed to continue his sortie. Looking at my pics it was the next one I took after Typhoon ZK 308 had finally landed.

Thanks.

regards

Glenn

Cheers Glenn, unfortunately I must have missed it (damn).

Still pretty sure a Tornado left Coningsby this morning though. (15/08/14)

No worries Dave, I am sure one of the locals will update on today's movements. Have a safe trip back home Bud.

Glenn.

Kevin, my pleasure mate, they're not as good as Garf's or Steven's or other established members of this forum but I'm learning as I go and will do my best to contribute as much as I can.
