Mud Observing Typhoon
Maybe not the best place for this but ...
a mate (east of the channel) informed me that ll(AC) Squadron Tornadoes flew their last recce mission on 30 November. He went on to say it was their last Tornado mission, their jets and people soon become 12 Sqn at Marham before the sqn becomes a Typhoon outfit at Lossie in April.
With what will the RAF be conducting tactical recce in the future? Are those huge RAPTOR Pods going to fit under a Typhoon? No, I thought not. Is their going to be a RAPTYPH Pod? No, I thought not.
So what is the oldest RAF flying squadron going to be using to acquire information (which can then be turned into 'intelligence')?
This is not a job for 13/39 sqn with their 'things' - honestly.
Anyone know? Anyone care?
(And yes I know that Numbers 2 & 3 did bump off the ground at the same time on the same day - but as an ex 'Hereward' chap we do feel slightly older.)
