12 squadron. There's some explanation behind it in one of the daily movements threads from last week.

Thanks - I'll go and have a dig around and see what I can find

Fantastic list, I visited today, this has probably been posted a thousand time, but I noted a fuselage around the back of the base, twin seater??
MTIA H@BHX.

That will be ZJ810 :- http://milky01.co.uk/?page_id=52246

The list in the opening post hasn't been updated since March 2020, so sadly isn't up to date.

[Monster 76 Hunter]

Brilliant thanks MIke.

Does anyone have a current status on ZK434 , it was listed as 3 squadron at Coningsby at the beginning of August .
But does not currently appear to be listed as present, transferred or just omitted from Milky s list?.

[Mike]

It was on this SBS report dated 10/09, seems to still be with 3 sqn if the serial showing on SBS is correct :- viewtopic.php?f=54&t=194705&p=1223615&h ... 4#p1223615

Scroll down as the serial is highlighted.

Thanks Mike, possible just an omission from Milky s list .

Excellent list very helpful

ZK434 Currently plotting at the moment as Rampage21 out over the North sea.

Excellent list very helpful

It's just a shame that it hasn't been updated for months though.

Finally updated the list (March 2020)- here are the airframes that need noting!! Please note I will not accept an SBS/PP log of an aircraft only a Mk1 eyeball spotting!!

Ok, noted. I prefer eyeballs too, but as it's lockdown (again), here are some ADSB reports to chew on anyway; disregard them if you wish.

Airframes (previously) not noted in 6+ Months:

010. ZJ919 - Last Noted 07-2019 at RAF Lossiemouth (no update)
012. ZJ921 - Last Noted 08-2019 at RAF Lossiemouth (no update)
045. ZK304 - Last Noted 09-2019 at RAF Coningsby (no update)
061. ZK320 - via ADSB ex Lossie 12/10 & 10/11/20
062. ZK321 - via ADSB returned UK from RAF Akrotiri 29/10, also ex Coningsby 03/11/20
073. ZK332 - via ADSB Lossie > Coningsby 8/9/20
079. ZK338 - Last Noted 08-2019 at RAF Coningsby (no update)
109. ZK368 - via ADSB ex Lossie 3/11, 5/11/20
112. ZK371 - via ADSB ex RAF Akrotiri multiple dates in October, returned UK 29/10, Coningsby 3-4-5-6/11/20
115. ZK374 - would you accept a "visual" via a Youtube video? Catching the wires @ Coningsby 5/10/20 (¹)
118. ZK377 - via ADSB ex Coningsby x3 (Oct), ex Lossie x 6 (Nov)
123. ZK427 - via ADSB ex Coningsby x 7 (August), ex Lossie x1 (17/9/20)

Airframes (previously) not noted in 12+ Months:

014. ZJ923 - Last Noted 10-2018 at RAF Lossiemouth (no update)
046. ZK305 - Last Noted 01-2019 stored at RAF Coningsby (no update)

(¹) ZK374 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSLegD9YTbs

And with a modest effort you can probably find eyeball confirmations of some of these ADSB reports.
I'd do it myself, but I've run out of steam already.....
At least you have an idea which ones to aim for.

Here again, this time fully charged with coffee (as opposed to Pinot Noir!).

These are the pick of the bunch hopefully satisfying your criteria for absolutely positive ID. And most are pretty recent too.

The most up to date listing of the Coningsby-based Typhoons can usually be found on Milky's site, here's the current listing :- http://milky01.co.uk/?page_id=53306
(Scroll down to just under his excellent photos of the BBMF)..................

Kevin (Milky) is a national treasure (and his ice cream is rather good too)!

[milky_01]

ZK434 is flying with 6Sqn at Lossiemouth still in 3(F)Sqn markings.

[np1991]

434 is unmarked unfortunately Kev

[i6720]

Interesting to see that ZJ923 is now flying at CBY - see pictures posted for 31-Mar-21. 1st time its been noted flying since about 2018 ? (I stand to be corrected)

[Mike]

ZJ923 had been in storage at Lossiemouth for a long time and re-appeared outside the hangars on 15/12/20.
