EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Typhoon FGR4, a formidable Royal Air Force aircraft stationed at RAF Leuchars in Scotland. The Typhoon is the epitome of versatility, serving as a multi-role combat aircraft capable of executing various air operations ranging from air policing and peace support to high-intensity conflicts. Its current deployments include permanent operations in the Falkland Islands, UK QRA North, and UK QRA South. The development of this remarkable aircraft began in 1988 when Britain, Germany, Italy, and Spain formally agreed to collaborate on its creation. A decade later, contracts were signed for an initial batch of 148 Typhoons with 53 allocated specifically for the RAF. Deliveries commenced in 2003 to 17 (R) Sqn based at BAE Systems Warton Aerodrome in Lancashire – conveniently located adjacent to the assembly factory.
