The Typhoon is not one of my favorites and that applies to a number of other modern types. But, your photos are superb and have struck a chord with me and remind me of many happy adventures back in the 70's and early 80's when I used venture to bases in Suffolk, Norfolk and elsewhere taking pictures and number crunching. Happy days. I now almost have a hankering to start this again....

Nice pics!

Typhoons also not one of my favourites, but it's growing on me...

I do miss the old Cold War days when the RAF's aircraft always flew armed to the teeth.....seems a waste to let them fly around with empty hardpoints...
