I thought there were 14 on the list aswell when I looked the other day? That would make 18, has 1 departed to Coningsby?

Yes, ZK306 went to Coningsby last week, so currently there is 17 Typhoons at Kinloss. It gets updated by me as/when jets swap/arrive/depart

It looks like ZK322 has gone to Coningsby today (if the serial on ADS-B can be believed).
