It has been done before, I think it is a couple of years old.....
I don't say that by way of criticism, just as prior warning that someone will be along shortly with a link to the previous pprune thread on this subject.

They look to be different photos under Photoshop unless someone
is expert at adjusting light / shadows but the pixels haven't been changed
in areas I would have expected.
Some good footage here of a similar action over Melbourne with a Super Hornet.

(Suggest you let the whole video download first).

Biggus is right- the thread then drifted into the expected cynical
with a load of techno babble about focal length distorting how close the two aircraft were and how the number of pixels varied by 'eulers number over the radius of a gnats tadger' until someone claimed authenticity by showing the pics had bee taken as part of a trial IIRC. Course I could be wrong but frankly who gives a stuff- either its good flying or its good photoshop.
Amazing what one can do with 'photoshop' isn't it!

It's Pukka (It was for a PR video) - you can see the camera rig on the left of the first shot.

Well, obviously no need for carriers then.
The Typhoons can just run into the Hercs like the Minis in The Italian Job went into the bus. Bloody marvelous what they come up with nowadays.
Perhaps they can even dock into the cavernous weapons bay in the Nimrods? Oh, wait ...

the competition was "can you touch the pitot probe"
not sure if they will ever be shown though, although it was a "slow speed handling check for/& visual damage" if anybody asks!!!!!!!!
LOL.
JEM60,
No photoshop involved. It was part of the filming for an RAF advert in 2007. The Typhoon/C-130 sequence is at 03:35 in the following video.

A bit of extreme ironing on a C-130 in the following video
