4K Impressive Typhoon Display ANARCHY1 - Demonstrating the manoeuvrability at 1,500ft RAF Coningsby

Описание: 2023 Typhoon Display Pilot Flt Lt Matt Brighty practices his impressive sequences for his display over the home base RAF Coningsby. This is Brighty's second practice over the Ted HQ and even at 1,500ft, it is ferociously impressive, he really shows off the manoeuvrability of the Eurofighter Typhoon.

The hard deck is 1,500ft which is standard for the first few practice displays. The displays hard deck will be lowered about every 2 weeks until the pilot gets to 100ft and of course, successfully passing the PDA (Public Display Authority).

The conditions on the day were rather challenging for both myself and Brighty. Firstly, 28knts of wind with gusts of 32knts according to tower/ATIS. But for me, the wind is a challenge, but I must add that the sun is directly in my face along with balancing on a ladder...so I really can't wait for Brighty to get to 100ft because I will be at a different location where my feet are firm on the ground. Anyways, enough about me, let's focus on Brighty....

Brighty said to the TCS that "keep the display sequence more tight" and aims to keep the sequence in a more compact space. This will possibly mean that high speed passes may not be present in the sequences in order to keep the manoeuvres confound to a tighter space. But until we see the practice displays next year (Late February / Early March), we will have a better idea then.

RAF Typhoon display pilots are selected from 29 Squadron, which is the OCU (Operational Conversion Unit) at RAF Coningsby. 'Brighty' has also flown with XI(F) Squadron, which is one of two front-line combat ready squadrons at Coningsby.

Brighty had also been involved in a special WWII flypast in honour of Wing Commander Guy Gibson VC. Brighty flew the pilot wings of Wg Cdr Guy Gibson in his Typhoon around Lincoln on the 24th January 2022. Gibson flew most of his operations from Scampton and Coningsby.

The wings were on a uniform that was left at RAF Coningsby aft Wg Cdr Guy Gibson VC was killed in action in 1944. Gibson helped form 617 Squadron (more famously renowned as 'the dam busters') during early 1943 for the specialised and extraordinary perilous pursuit of Op. Chastise, using the 'bouncing bomb' to breach the dams in Germany's Rhur Valley during the nights of the 16th and 17th of May 1943. What an honour for Brighty to fly the very wings of Wg Cdr Gibson in his Typhoon...

RECORDING DATE: 21st February 2023
