Two Typhoon Jets from 6 Squadron Arrive at RAF Leuchars in Scotland
Two 6 Squadron Typhoon jets arrive at Royal Air Force (RAF) Leuchars in Scotland in 2010 to replace the 111 Squadron F3 Tornados previously based there.
Typhoon provides the RAF with a multi-role combat aircraft, capable of being deployed in the full spectrum of air operations, from air policing, to peace support, through to high intensity conflict. It is currently employed on permanent ops in the Falkland Islands, UK QRA North and UK QRA South.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the moment when two Typhoon jets from 6 Squadron gracefully touch down at RAF Leuchars in Scotland. It was taken in 2010, marking the replacement of the 111 Squadron F3 Tornados previously stationed there. The Typhoon is a versatile combat aircraft that equips the Royal Air Force (RAF) with immense capabilities across various air operations.

Currently deployed on permanent operations in locations like the Falkland Islands, UK QRA North, and UK QRA South, this jet epitomizes strength and defensive prowess.
