Packed as usual, the RAF Typhoon never fails to impress.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Trust me on this but when you have to work underneath him practicing the display 3 times a day for a month before the season starts it gets very boring very quickly.

Best display ever here for me, the way the Eurofighter Typhoon tracked the Lancaster for a few minutes and then it just broke off and well what can you say, proud to be British.

You don't happen to commute every day via Caistor do you...? There's a car with a GTFC badge in the rear window that I see quite a few mornings. Keep wanting to give a thumbs up but he'll no doubt think I'm some right weirdo!

It’s not me coming that way but there are dozens coming from our way every day. I’ve got two on display in my car.

Is it really work to sit watching air displays all day?

The nifty new paintwork is all British, though.

Surprised the Typhoon didn't rattle the rivets out of the Lancaster flying in proximity

Engine is pointing backwards in relation to the Lancaster, so that's where the sound waves will be going!
