Stored Typhoon T.3's

Post by Off Airways » Sun Sep 15, 2019 4:25 pm

Hi folk

Not being local to Coningsby ... :(

Please can someone give me directions as to the best place to see the two stored Typhoon T.3's (ZJ807 + 810) as I'll be there tomorrow while visiting Waddington

So do you want 150 "sorry can't help" posts? I read many posts just out of interest and maybe others do too. OK out of 150 you could possibly expect an answer or two but I'm fairly sure you haven't been deliberately ignored. Most people help where and when they can.

EXACTLY - I'd have expected at least one

Point made.

If they're stored, it seems to me that they have been put away somewhere, and not on parade for your camera.

A look at Milky's site says that they (or what is left of them) are behind the engine hush house - wherever that is.

Hi Bob

Thanks for the message, it was infact Milky's site that drew my attention to them and I emailed him directly but sadly his reply came after I'd departed Coningsby today.

Maybe I should have asked "Where's the Engine Hush House" :D

Cheers

Not a problem at all ...

And certainly no need to apologise, especially as you didn't know the answer.

All is now clear and the question very clearly answered :D

Stored being a loose reference... Dumped awaiting collection for a trip to the crusher sums it up. ;-)

You mean those two aircraft weren't on QRA duty when I took the photo? :P
