Hi All,

Paid a quick visit as we were in the area, finding just the 1 Typhoon outside between 1030 and 1130.

ZR512/QA411 Typhoon Qatari marks.

Had hoped for a couple more or open hangar doors but no such luck.

Maybe next time.
Rgds, Dave
Try RAF Coningsby if you want to see more Typhoons...
....but they're boring grey with no marks bar a handful with 12Sqn, 29Sqn or 41TES 😉 Much more fun trying to stalk the jets in Lancs even if I do keep missing them. Dave, if there is a jet out first thing it will most likely fly so you just have to wait patiently.

We did see it climbing out from Wrea Green where we grabbed a bite to eat.

What?
Qatari Typhoons?
I answered a post of someone saying there was one Typhoon outside… no mention of Qatari Typhoons… you know something I don’t?

Silly comments which increase the chances of me scrubbing these logs…
