All over Sky News today. The No2 took the pic! "Two Typhoons from Coningsby scrambled to intercept Bear on heading for UK airspace!" They also mentioned it was only a week or two that they had taken over QRA! They also made assumptions that it might be to shut up the anti Typhoon brigade in showing the mighty RAF protecting our airspace with new shiny jet but also mentioned the MoD were reluctant to release the images!
Conspiracy? hahaha!
Either way who cares? It was a nice piccie and one we have all seen so many times before with with awesome images of Lightnings, then Phantoms et el so guess we need a Typhoon for the wall in the OM too?
Awesome stuff!
