Dougie,
There was a recent posting regarding the 6 squadron line-up and i dont think it has changed. I did see on the Coningsby thread that ZJ947/EI was noted sitting fully marked on the flight line there last week.
As for the F3s, not sure at all but i did hear that 3 are soon for RTP. Not sure on the grobs either but G-CGKK/L/M/N/O are the ones i remember. 2 of these are loaned out to Glasgow as well.
Arabest,
Geoff.
PS, Grobs include I and J as well.

I Take there are not many left now
Yeah i make it 14 6sqn tiffies now, so that is 6 new machine's since the last time i was up Geoff
Thinking in heading up some time in March

There's about 10 Tornado F3 and 14 Typhoons.
I believe the F3s still on strength are: HA/HB/HD/HF/HH/HL/HP/HX*/HY/JU (there may be a couple more.)
* HX apparently had some problem recently so may not fly again.
As for Typhoons: ED/EF/EG/EJ/EK/EL/EX were present last Thursday. But I'm sure there are many more.
Chris.
