Typhoon has had the painters in!
It has been around for a while i'm afraid - a bit of a late 'unveiling' RAF news-wise.

'The Typhoon along with a WWII Spitfire, as part of a Synchro-pair, will perform aerial displays at air shows across the UK this summer.'
Well, for the sake of the Service's credibility, let's hope someone just photo-shopped the Typhoon/Hurricane synchro-pair for the press release!

Either way it's a all a bit late as it it has already been out and about on display:

Might have been nicer to have a Hurricane done up in Nicholson`s colours,and used as the synchro-pair this year......must be some paint left in the tins..

The nose should be black
Also ... A black nose cone would in all probability cause heat gain (by absorption) ... Not a good move as far as avionics are concerned ...

"Mildly" Eccentric Stardriver
Hangs head in shame. I don't know how I could have got that wrong. I guess I suffered a "craft" moment there. As in "Can't remember a f**king thing".
