Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4 – ZJ913 FM-G ‘Moggy’, Flt Lt David ‘Turbo’ Turnbull, RAF No.29 Sqn, Coningsby, June 6th 2024
(2024 D-Day Anniversary Display Scheme)
This die-cast model has a limited edition run of 1,000 units.
Those who enjoy attending UK airshows in the summer will agree that the highest profile individual aircraft in current Royal Air Force service is their display Typhoon, an aircraft which makes a celebrity of its pilot for the season and attracts thousands of youngsters to consider a career in the RAF.
Over recent years, it has become tradition for the RAF Display Teams Typhoon display jet to wear attractive special markings, making the aircraft a highlight display act on any airshow programme, and one of the most appealing subjects for enthusiast photographers.
To mark last years 80th anniversary of D-Day commemorations, the RAF presented Eurofighter Typhoon ZJ913 in the markings of a Second World War Hawker Typhoon of No.257 (Burma) Squadron. The livery represents a plane flown by Squadron Leader Denzil Jenkins in support of the D-Day landings in summer 1944.
During the airshow season, at commemorative events in both the UK and France and a successful Canadian tour, the aircraft, which its support team and enthusiasts referred to as Moggy, displayed the legendary agility of the Eurofighter Typhoon and highlighted the professionalism of the modern Royal Air Force in style.
Although now retired to perform duties as an instructional airframe, Moggy will be remembered as one of the most popular RAF aircraft of the post-war era.
