Wow, first visit to Coninsby since I was about 18. Lots of acticity and lots of spotters! May be of use to someone: Typhoons noted as follows from c.1300-1600

Flightline nearest BoB Hangar. ZJ914/937. ZK329/348/380/429/436/437
Flightline behind that> ZK318/375/433
Covered pens - all 12 sqd colours: ZK360/361/363/372/383
In big hangar behind BoB Hangar: ZJ929/942/946, ZK428/438. At one point ZK300 was towed near the hangar.
Other side - flightline by EE Lightning XR753 ZK304/310/333/346/376
Other side - flightline by EE Lightning XS897 ZK342 and thought to be ZK371 and ZJ 807 plus 1 other.
Landed at 1512 = ZK331. Took off at 1545: ZK369 (with 360, 361 and 372) all 12 sqd.

Spitfire MK356 and later PM631 were flying. TE311, and AB910 were wheeled outside with Hurricane PZ865 looking fab in night fighter scheme and engine cover off. The two Chipmunks and DC3 were in the BoB hangar. Harrier XW924 noted on the other side of the airfield.

Update: I think "807" is unlikely and the Typhoon that landed at 1512 has been reported as ZK381, probably correctly, elsewhere and I got no photos of it or saw its tail code (I saw it land from a distance and got info from flightradar)
