Re: II (AC) Squadron to be 5th Typhoon Unit

Does get slightly confusing when you can have a Tranche 1 and Tranche 3 Phoon which are both FGR4's?

Re: Falklands '84

Really very interesting historic material you have posted. Aside the historical element some cracking photos with the F4's on the line and the tanking shots. Great to see the helos as well. One of the best posts on FC this year. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: Don't fancy your accommodation at the time!
