couple of two seater typhoon questions

[PaulR]

Hi there,

Was just looking back over an old copy of AFM and saw the crash report on Typhoon T1 zj810. This was it seemed, slated for repair, but I haven't seen it RECENTLY on airliners.net or any other website/magazine. Is anybody able to update on this airframe?

On a similar note, I was flicking through the new RAF yearbook, and I saw a two seater typhoon from 17 sdn with the PIRATE sensor, which I guess makes it a T3. it was coded AY, but I couldn't see the serial. Does anyone know what it is? Is this a rebuild of one of the first T1s/T1As, or is it a new build? Also, was it the plane that made a belly landing in the US recently? The news reports I read made reference to both pilot and a WSO and that it came from 17 sdn, which would make sense if it was there on trials.

Would be very grateful if anyone has any info they are able to pass on.

best regards, Paul
