The Saudi C-130 looks to be the same two tone blue/grey as used on their Typhoons

Looks very smart indeed

ZK435/BS151 (in primer) noted out on the MTA late am with egr intake guards fitted.

2x Typh airborne 1300/01L (stream T/o) "Rebel 58 Combine". assumed dev jets.

The two Typhoons were ZK 355 & ZK 356 taxied out from the south side lined up as a
pair but after engaging the EJ 200s they rotated singularly on dry mil power lots of noise.

[TombsRIP]

Thanks "AndrewBarclay".
The other callsign was WTN69.
Both recovered via SRA (talkdown) to rwy 25 plus single t&g before landing (Rebel 58 @ 1502L; Tarnish 69 @ 1511L streaming chute).

11:45 - G-BYUY/UAM37 (G.1153/RAF) Touch and Go

[TombsRIP]

WTN69 & Rebel 58 launched 1552-54L. Think Tarnish 69 was acting as a target for interceptions by RBL58.
Involving BS117 (RBL58) & ZK434 (on Flt2 flown by WTN69).
WTN69 recovered with vectors for ILS 25 + t&g 1655L; primered typhoon (BS150) seen turning downwind in circuit; then low overshoot 1657L & land 1659L.Turned off rwy for MTA where production aircraft now operate from.
RBL58 also recovered with ILS 25 and land 1713L

Any id on the Typhoon that was flying around at about 3.35 Friday ?

I believe ZJ938/IPA6 and BS117/ZK356 were up

[TombsRIP]

I believe ZJ938/IPA6 and BS117/ZK356 were up

WTN69 up 1504L (in IPA6 as tgt for BT17?); landed 1547L.
