This Typhoon is also painted with the 249 Squadron identification number of the only Fighter Command pilot awarded a Victoria Cross during the battle: Flight Lieutenant James Brindley Nicolson VC DFC.
In May 2015, the RAF unveiled a state-of-the art Typhoon in a Battle of Britain era paint scheme to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain and to acknowledge the bravery and sacrifice of the aircrew who took part in the battle.
