Typhoon T.1 ZJ809 of 29 Squadron makes her way down the taxi way to the threshold of runway 26. |

A close up of the cockpit area of the same aircraft. |

ZJ809/"BH" again, notice the large stain from the APU exhaust above the wing. |
|
|
|
ZJ806/"BE" follows ZJ809 down the taxi way for a formation departure from runway 26. |
|
|
|
ZJ808/"BG" makes an approach to runway 26 for a "roller", photographed just over the B1192 (road). |
|
|
|
A further view of ZJ808 on short finals. |
|
|
|
ZJ806"BE" just crossing the threshold of runway 08 during the afternoon. |

|
|
I was lucky to catch the strobe of ZJ808/"BG" as she approached the threshold of runway 08. |

|
|
ZJ807/"BF" illuminated by the afternoon sun poking through the clouds on finals. |

Tornado F.3 ZE785 of the FJWOEU (Fast Jet & Weapons Operational Evaluation Unit) lines up on runway 08. |
|
|
|
Another image of ZE785, showing the considerate cleaning job given to the area of the tail featuring the serial. Why the RAF decided to paint the serials on this portion of the fin is beyond me. |
|
|
|
Harrier Gr.9 ZG501 approaches runway 08 very slowly, almost in the hover. |

|
A further shot of ZG501. |
