Apologies if this question has been asked before .
Just sorting through some photos taken at Coningsby last week and noticed these aircraft painted on the side.
Are they intercept markings?? These are on ZJ932 DB.
Knowing me they will have been on at least a year and I havn't noticed before .



Cheers Paul.

They are silhouettes of aircraft intercepted on QRA's.

ZJ932 is the only one that I have seen. Bears and Blackjacks. It looks like the Blackjacks were intercepted during the night, so no nice images.

The following link will take you to images of ZJ932 during one of the intercept missions of the Tu-95MS Bear H.

I'm only a couple of months behind the times then - thats not bad for me .

Those marks have been on that jet for well over a year now, fortunately the painters never removed them when she was in TMU for servicing.
