Remarks: The 2008 Valley Aviation Society charity photo-call had an unexpected visitor when this 17 Sqn Typhoon arrived with a hung missile. It spent the day parked well away from the active site down towards Rhosneigr. 17 Sqn is the RAF Typhoon Operational Evaluation Unit and transferred from BAE Systems’ Warton facility, where it had been stationed during the acceptance phase of the Typhoon’s operational service, to RAF Coningsby in 2005.
