AA29004 Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4 ‘Moggy' - RAF No.29 Sqn - 2024 D-Day Anniversary Display Scheme aircraft
Limited Edition
For those who enjoy attending Airshows during the summer months across the UK, the highest-profile individual aircraft in current Royal Air Force service is undoubtedly the Typhoon display aircraft. This aircraft makes a celebrity of its pilot for the duration of the season and attracts thousands of youngsters to consider a career in the RAF.
Over recent years, it has become something of a tradition for the RAF Display Team’s Typhoon display jet to wear attractive special markings, making the aircraft a highlight display act on any Airshow programme in which it appears, and unquestionably, one of the most appealing subjects for enthusiast photographers.
To mark last year’s 80th Anniversary of D-Day commemorations, the RAF presented Eurofighter Typhoon ZJ913 in the markings of a WWII Hawker Typhoon of No.257 (Burma) Squadron, one which Squadron Leader Denzil Jenkins flew in support of the D-Day landings during the summer of 1944.
During the Airshow season, at commemorative events in both the UK and France, and completing a successful Canadian tour, the aircraft, which its support team and enthusiasts alike referred to as ‘Moggy’, displayed the legendary agility of the Eurofighter Typhoon and highlighted the professionalism of the modern Royal Air Force in some style.
Although now retired to perform duties as an instructional airframe, ‘Moggy’ will be remembered as one of the most popular RAF aircraft of the post-war era.
