41 Squadron Anniversary Scheme
41 Squadron Anniversary Scheme
The 41 Squadron 100th anniversary scheme was formally unveiled at Coningsby today on ZK315, (albeit only a year early). Six squadron jets, two Tornados and four Typhoons departed en masse, returning later when these shots were taken.

Fabulous pictures Steve, and a great little design as well.

Great pics, nice scheme, shame the Phantom is missed on the tail.

True but they only operated it for 4 years or so, does it warrant a place??

You caaan't trust the system... Maaan!

Don't forget the Harrier!
Lovely looking special scheme, simple and clear - really does look the part. Well done on this one RAF.

The Phantom and Harrier really pale in to insignificance in the squadron's history compared to other types...

Good point! From Twitter the canards have "seek" and "destroy" (squadron motto) on them. They look a bit naff TBH..

I thought the canards looked a bit plain as well, the tail looks fantastic though

Re: 41 Squadron Anniversary Scheme
Great pics and nice skies, much better than my efforts today.

These are my photos, there are many like them but these are mine.
