gary1701 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Gents, This post is going to feature just one aircraft I'm afraid. I've just spent two days of scorching temperatures (pure luck that my annual fixed holiday started this week!) and blue skies on the fence at RAF Coningsby, my first visit this year besides the enthusiasts do. My number one target was to try and capture Typhoon FGR4 ZJ936 as I haven't seen the jet since it gained the 100th anniversary markings earlier this year. Got rather lucky, as they flew the thing four times over two days, allowing me to capture it from every possible angle. Slightly disappointing that none of the pilots who flew it would cycle the airbrake while taxiing, although some of the guys flying the grey jets did so. ZJ936 has some markings on the top of the airbrake that can only be seen when deployed. Hope this is not overkill on one jet! 'The third shall be first'. The markings on the brake can just be seen. 3(F) Sqn battle honours. The fin. Not sure which side lost the badge a month or so ago but it's back now on both sides. Leading the posse down from the shelters. Didn't get the airbrake but at least he waved! Returning on 25. Finally, turning off the far end. Not all shot on the one sortie I must add! I'll edit up some more general shots from the two days and will put them up soon as well. Gary Edited July 24, 2012 by gary1701 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
