In the latest issue of Air Forces Monthly there is a photograph of ZK301 on an Op Shader mission with the tail-code 'EW'

Probably went to China Lake on 19 September, and came back to Coningsby on 23 November as EB-L. Presumably already coded as that during September?

Thanks to all for the continuing info stream, TM74

Got a tour of Leuchars a few of years ago and he was the pilot who showed us around a Typhoon in a HAS, top guy.

Can anyone provide the CAT 4 mishap date for Typhoon FGR4 ZJ922/QO-C please.

December 2016 MAM update shows ZJ815/EB-H as RTP at Coningsby.

Yep, first one to go through the process.

What mishap?

I don't know, I am trying to find out why the aircraft has not flown since around 2010 and is now a training airframe at Warton.

[kstater94]

I thought I read somewhere that ZJ922 had suffered a hard landing and was awaiting rebuild

Sorry if that is inaccurate

Cheers!

John I think that is ZJ944, ZJ922 had a Bird strike and was damaged in a very heavy landing on it's return
if my mind remembers right.
Shuck I will go back in my movements and let you know the date.

Thanks Kev!

I read elsewhere here that ZK320 came out of the paint shed with "320" on the tail where the code used to be...

Looks like another step towards neutering the fleet...

[Steven]

Just to keep everyone updated we now have several Typhoons with a numerical tail-code - like the Tornado fleet but instead feauturing the three digits of the serial of the aircraft - all the Typhoons are due to receive this code by the summer. So far we have:

ZJ814/814 - Typhoon T3 - 29(R) Sqn
ZK317/317 - Typhoon FGR4 - Unmarked
ZK320/320 - Typhoon FGR4 - Unmarked
ZK330/330 - Typhoon FGR4 - Unmarked
ZK347/347 - Typhoon FGR4 - Unmarked
