Bottom Typhoon pic:
Looks like only the port engine is in afterburner which may explain the tyre looking like it's coming off the rim ! Either that or it's the weight of the gun

Great Pics'
I never had the opportunity or some would say skill to take such shots at the home of the Harrier ( and that doesn't mean b****y Wart On ) as a resident photographer...
Re.tail markings, I remember seeing a Tornado at West Freugh labelled ' 2CV ' which seemed about right.
Yes I do remember the take-off if the crew are reading this, flat out skidding rather than climbing with the tailpipes about 6' up, only just made it over the hangars - where people who thought they'd seen everything were beginning to run !

TEEEJ. Yes, right first time; definitely looks boxhead 
An observation for the youngsters: the Royal Air Force once had a tradition that "abreviated" Squadron Badges on fins should be contained within an arrow shaped border;
Post war, the "tradition" evolved to containment in a circle;
later evolving to a new "tradition" of no border;
The latest fashion is now badges on a shield, like the more junior air forces;

Sorry for the blatant Thread drift. Those photographs are brilliant and the clarity and "framing" is superb. Many thanks for sharing them.
