Identify this fuselage…

Posting here because it looks historic.

No, not the Gazelle. Spotted at Brize Norton today

Apparently, it is build number JP090, a development fuselage previously in use at Brough as part of the Typhoon fatigue test programme.

I think as DB said, appears to be a static test frame, its covered in welded on lifting and rig holding points and thus unlikely to have been serialled or even completed.

Probably no U.K serial if it’s just been a production line tool.

No, see my post #5

If it is that one, any idea on the UK serial?

Could it be the one that some numpty jet jockey landed wheels up in the states being brought back for repair?

Be a bit extreme to remove the paint back to primer before bringing it home!

You will be surprised how big it is, Im sure its the old test Typhoon fusalage that belongs to ARTF. Note the mid fusalage area is much deeper than the cockpit area.

Is it not too big for a Typhoon?
