The RAF Typhoon Display Team have revealed the newly painted display aircraft for the 2024 display season at Royal Air Force Coningsby. 🎨 The aircraft paint scheme includes features that commemorate D-Day, with 2024 being the 80th Anniversary of the Allies invading Europe.
The aircraft is painted in a 1944-era ‘Day Fighter’ scheme. The scheme remembers a Hawker Typhoon of 257 Squadron, FM-G. On D-Day, this aircraft was flown by Pilot Officer Denzel Jenkins, who became Officer Commanding 257 Squadron and was later decorated with the Distinguished Flying Cross.
