Are the OCU airframes in “Trainer Black” these days, for Hi-Vis purposes? Or is this a Night Intruder variant?
From Wiki: "
No. IX (B) Squadron re-equipped as an aggressor and air defence squadron operating Eurofighter Typhoon Tranche 1 at 0931hrs GMT on 1 April 2019".
ZJ914 is an IX Squadron airframe and was repainted in black last year, perhaps inspired by the US aggressor schemes. Remains to be seen whether this is a one-off experiment, or if all IX Squadron jets will end up painted black.
