My Air Refuelling Flight

OK, this happened quite a while ago, but I just thought of posting the pics.
My mate’s dad is at RAF Brize Norton, and he got us on a refuelling flight in a VC-10. We were scheduled to refeul 4xTyphoon, 4xF3 and 1xGR4, but the F3s pulled out, so we were left with Typhoons from Coningsby and the GR4, which was down from Lossiemouth. We were over the north sea.

Basically what happenned was the aircraft would come in on the left, wait to refuel, then refuel under wither wing. They would then wait above the right wing for the rest to refuel, before departing.

And finally the typhoons waiting to depart (they went off in pairs):

I’ve got loads more pictures, so if you want a look at those or the full size versions of these ones, just give us a shout.
