11 Sqn's lead jet on the Southern taxiway loop at Coningsby heading for runway 25. Aircraft is a upgraded FGR4 with the infra-red sensor turret visible on the nose.
This 17 Sqn aircraft was originally a early production F2 airframe but has recently returned from BAe Warton as one of the first FGR4 upgrades. In time, all earlier airframes will go through this process.
Inbound with a load of inert Paveway LGB's and Lightening pod, 17 Sqn's lead ship returns following a failed attempt to get into Waddington for the weekend show.
