Скачать или смотреть SEND IT! FULL REHEATS ON LOW APPROACH • AWESOME TYPHOON AT RAF CONINGSBY

This has to be our best ever low approach at RAF Coningsby as a 12 Squadron Eurofighter Typhoon with callsign 'WOLF11' enters the circuit on initial and goes into a break. On the next approach, the Typhoon whacks on full reheats (Afternurners) and pulls up and departs unrestricted!

12 Squadron is based at RAF Coningsby and formed at Netheravon in 1915. They were the Sole operator of the Fairey Fox. In 1940, Flying Officer Garland and Sergeant Gray were awarded Victoria Crosses for a Fairey Battle raid on the Maastricht bridge over the Albert Canal. The unit soon re-equipped with the Vickers Wellington.

The squadron moved to RAF Wickenby in 1942 and soon after converted to operate the Avro Lancaster a heavy bomber

Aircraft flown include the Fairey Fox, Vickers Wellington, English Electric Canberra, Blackburn Buccaneer and Panavia Tornado. Flew long-range Storm Shadow missions deep into Libya from RAF Marham in 2011. Stood up as a joint UK-Qatari Typhoon squadron in July 2018.


In 1946, No. 12 Squadron re-equipped with the Avro Lincoln, another heavy bomber. In 1952, the squadron joined the jet-age and re-equipped with the English Electric Canberra jet bomber. After 44 years continuous service the squadron was again disbanded on 1 July 1961.

On 1 July 1962, the squadron was re-formed to operate eight Avro Vulcan V bombers equipped with Yellow Sun one megaton free-fall strategic nuclear bombs for medium to high altitude release. The squadron initially operated Vulcans from RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire and then later from RAF Cottesmore in Rutland. The advent of effective Soviet surface-to-air-missiles made high-flying bombers vulnerable, and in late 1966 the squadron took delivery of eight WE.177B strategic nuclear laydown bombs for low-level penetration missions. It was assigned to Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) as part of the UK strategic nuclear forces deployed with that 450 kt weapon, that was intended as a temporary stop-gap until the UK Polaris force began to take over the strategic nuclear delivery role. The squadron stood down from this role on 31 December 1967. It was then intended to re-form the squadron with the BAC TSR-2 and then the General Dynamics F-111K but both acquisitions were cancelled by the British Government.

No. 12 Squadron was eventually re-formed at RAF Honington in Suffolk on 1 October 1969 with twelve Blackburn Buccaneer aircraft assigned to Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic (SACLANT) in the anti-shipping role, equipped with twelve WE.177 nuclear bombs and free-falling conventional high explosive bombs, and from 1974 with Martel missiles for non-nuclear strike.

In 1991, the squadron flew the Buccaneer in Operation Granby, the 1991 Gulf War and two years later, they were re-equipped with the Tornado GR1B. In 2010, 12 sqn were the first Tornado unit in Afghanistan and a year later they took part in Operation Ellamy, including Storm Shadow missions from RAF Marham. Standing down in 2014 and reforming a year later to support Operation Shader they finally reformed in 2018 as a joint Typhoon unit in July and it took until 2020 for the squadron to begin ops at RAF Coningsby
