6 Squadron's designated aircraft

[Ian A.S.]

A few photos showing my first viewing of 3 Typhoons working up together prior to formation later this year of 6 Squadron at Leuchars

EB - ZK304



EC - ZK 305



ED - ZK 306



All 3 closely grouped for take off



Unfortunately during its mission , EC had a problem with its refuelling probe and hastened back to base, with probe extended , brake chute and precautionary fire tenders



A couple more from Coningsby 04/06 - the F.15 duo



Finally - any excuse -3 Typhoons in one frame



On a separate note later this p.m. - the BBMF Lanc was on jacks with engineers working to get the undercarriage gremlin sorted to return servicable for a heavy weekend bookings.

Cheers

Great catch with the last one! Got to be a contender for the next photo of the week. Fantastic set.

Hi Ian,

Nice stuff there. I've only just started after getting back home last night. I shot a few more than I thought!

6 Sqn went off as a 3 ship first thing on Wednesday too. Love the F15 pair. The mound is the best pace to shoot from in my opinion when the wind is right.

Nice composition on the last two, Ian.
