Typhoon T.1 display - RAF Waddington - 17th Oct 07
A totally awesome Typhoon display at Waddington! Thanks to the aircrew of ZJ801! I've heard rumours that this was the pilots last display - Anyone confirm?
The Typhoon display started after an air power demonstration by a Tornado GR.4. By this time (1716) the sun was low in the sky.

Strange you heard that, Teej.
I got it on fairly good authority that it was a sneak preview of a prototype 2008 season display.
Maybe the chap in the back seat is the new jock?
Bastard.

And a show of photos from our front line SH/AT to top off the Op Tempo going on at the moment......oooh sorry, no pics from the front line - it might compromise the news of our involvement.
...BTW, nice show chaps....If only I was younger

I do hope to the heavens that the services of Mister TEEJ are hired often by the folks in the RAF for PR purposes.
If otherwise....
....WHY THE HELL NOT?!
Each time I see a thread like this (started only in July when the IAF came to Waddo), I visit it again and again - and not to mention forwarding the link to friends!

Thanks for the comments!
Probably incorrect - never listen to gossip?!
Just a guess at dirt on the wheel well bulges?
Some play around in Photoshop

What are those black scuff marks round the wheel wells?

There are plenty of photographers out there who can take a half decent photograph, and some parts of the RAF do use them.
Unfortunately there is also a lot of photographers out there who can't take a decent shot, or don't know how to use some basic photoshop operations to tidy their pictures up.
If you like to look at aircraft pics, you should look in on UKAR, or Warplane, to name but a few. The last thing you want, is every swinging dick with a digital camera, posting their pics on here.
Nice shots TEEJ, like the 2nd last one.

Its caused by the (Dirty/oily) undercarriage ground lock warning pennants flapping around in the wind hence their circular shape.

Thanks for the kind comments.
Of mine it would have to be the first Typhoon shot.
My favourite image of all time is this shot of an Airbus A340.

I see the Euroblighter is keeping up the RAF tradition of filthy, dirty aeroplanes.....
Back in F4 days, we couldn't believe how immaculate the German Navy F-104s were which came over on NATO exchange, compared to the scruffy things we flew.
I recall Hunters at Brawdy so dirty you could barely see the markings - and that was back when they had white in the roundels.
Why do the UK's aircraft always look so utterly tatty, when compared to anyone else's?

Because they are busy doing what they were intended to do.
And because we don't waste time washing them all the time.
And if we did wash them some old and bold passed over has been would complain how we spend too much time washing aircraft rather than flying them like God intend us to. Not like in his day of course.
Or does it get slagged off because it is the Typhoon.

"Because they are busy doing what they were intended to do."
Granted that may be true of SH and AT assets and all aircraft in Bliar's war zones - but the EuropHoon is hardly 'busy doing what it was intended to do', I would suggest.
By all means waste your time with personal insults, I care not a jot. It merely belittles you.
