Nice set buddy. Didn’t realise they had those tail stencils, too.

Good catches!

Not much competition, but far and away the smartest standard scheme Typhoons currently out there.

Very nice.

ZR508/QA407 had issue with AAR probe when in RA8 with Voyager, so came back in so only 2x delivered today.

Great pictures

I agree, these look great, nice shots Chris.

Be nice if we could have some camo like this on ours - grey doesn’t have to be boring.

Agree. Was hoping for a static appearance at RIAT but it wasn't to be.

Same here - I assume some will still be around next July (would that be correct, anyone?) - perhaps we could have a painted single seater and a twin-seater then.

Very smart.
Why do almost everyone else’s Typhoons look tidy and the RAF ones look like they are in undercoat?
All down to cost or some operational reason that escapes me?
