The Typhoon Display Team is bidding farewell to the 'BlackJack' Typhoon and unveiled its successor on Monday April 22, after more than six months of careful and secretive planning.<br />The new, as yet un-named Typhoon, has been given a different paint scheme, which was completed by Serco, to mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.<br />The inspiration was to pay tribute to the RAF Hawker Typhoon, which was flown on D-Day by 257 Sqn and where the modern Typhoon takes its name from. The Hawker’s original paint scheme has been replicated, with a few minor tweaks, onto the Display Team’s new aircraft.<br />The new Typhoon will be debuted at the Midlands Air Festival on May 31.
