There are two (I think), FC and FN, which have small wasp decals on the nose.

Visited again this afternoon, still haven't managed to catch the XV(R) centenary special or any II(F)sqn jets yet but managed to see two four-ships of Typhoons recover, a couple of Tornados and plenty of Tucanos departing.

I tried to edit in a variety of different styles, number 14 is trying to mimic a disposable camera image for what its worth.

Finally caught the XV(R)sqn centenary scheme active this afternoon, great scheme. It joined the MacRobert's Reply aircraft just as 1(F)sqn were recovering.
