RAF Coningsby: viewing car park RAF Coningsby is a main operating base of the RAF. The airfield first opened during the Second World War and is now home to five Eurofighter Typhoon squadrons. It also houses the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight which operates historic RAF aircraft. Consequently it attracts a dedicated band of plane spotters who can park here just outside the perimeter fence. On this day the spotters were not disappointed as there was plenty of jet fighter activity, each one passing over making a terrible racket.

RAF Coningsby: crash gate no 6 A sole plane spotter observes a De Havilland Chipmunk of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) heading out of RAF Coningsby. These planes, of which there are two in the BBMF, are mainly used for training purposes. It made for a considerably less deafening interlude between appearances of Eurofighter Typhoons.
