On May 21, 2014 at RAF Coningsby two aircraft that would take part in the 70th Anniversary of D-Day were revealed. The Eurofighter Typhoon II ZK308 and Spitfire Mk. IX MK356/5J-K, were both wearing the iconic black and white stripes associated with this historic event. Typhoon II FGR.4 ZK308 from 29 (R) Squadron was coded TP-V MN-526 of the 198 Squadron as a tribute to the Hawker Typhoons of WWII. These special painted aircraft along with others, took part in the Duxford Air Show held on May 24, 2014.
Designed as part of a co-operative effort by Germany, Italy and the UK to produce an air superiority fighter, the Eurofighter was first flown on March 27th, 1994. The Eurofighter is a single-seat, twin-engine, agile combat aircraft used in air-to-air, air-to-ground and tactical reconnaissance roles. It is intentionally aerodynamically unstable, which gives it its high levels of agility-but this means the Typhoon is controlled by a computerized “fly by wire” system instead of by its pilot. The Eurofighter’s first rate performance is matched by excellent all round vision and by sophisticated attack, identification and defense systems and stealth technology.
