How long has the other parking area at Coningsby been closed for.
It was rammed on the official car park on Wednesday for most of the day.

Are you referring to the mound area?

If so I think it's been closed off for some time, farmer got fed up with folk going on his land.

Nicely fluffed log that, bet the Ian Allan spotters book took a pasting when you got home!

[captain scarlet]

Absolutely rinsed it mate

Hi Richard,
Sorry for not knowing the serial number, but has the black colour scheme 9sqn Typhoon been about ? Anybody know if its gone in for maintenance (how long ?) or storage ?
regards
Paul

[reaper493]

Believe it's having its 9sqd markings removed and then will be the 29sqd Display jet for this year?

Serial is ZJ914.

It was on the wash pan with various panels off this morning

[Doughnut]

thanks for the replies.
Regarding the Typhoon display for 2021. Anybody know when the display schedule will be issued ? Not many shows to go to too.

No sorry Reaper,I mean the big space next to the one everyone parks on.
It was open last September and everyone was all nicely spaced.It was packed last Wednesday.Was hoping to park on the big concrete area next to it,but was closed off.

[reaper493]

Ah ok, not sure on that one!

I know it is farmers land again, so potentially the same as my original response.

I have seen tractors going in and out of there a fair few times, so could be why?
