Wednesday at RAF Coningsby was the Public Display Authorisation for the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and the Typhoon.
This is the display routine for the 2009 airshow season and is peformed in front of RAF top brass who have to sign off both the routine and the pilots before it can be used on the airshow circuit.
I had positioned myself to get the performance take off of the Typhoon at the cost of not being able to shoot a lot of the displays as they would be into the sun from my location. I thought it would be worth the cost but rather than the usual brakes on, reheat, take off, the pilot opted for a slow taxi first before engaging the reheat. This caused the rotation point to be a lot further down the runway and my plan was shot. :bang:
Anyhow, onto the photos....
