2 Typhoons at Eastbourne
« on: August 21, 2007, 06:59:49 PM »
Hi

Just seen on the news that 2 Typhoons were scrambled to intercept a Russian bomber last week. I was at Eastbourne Airborne on Friday and at about 11:30 (before the airshow started) 2 Typhoons flew a single low speed pass along the coast. Did anyone else see them? Were they the same 2 I wonder? In the photos it looks like they are carriyng some ordinance.

Nice capture. Yes there is a news article elsewhere saying that the Russians have began their old Cold War longe range bomber patrols. I'd expect you may see this more frequently in the future.
