Very impressive log Phil , thanks for putting it up here.

Every year I go to RAF Coningsby for a day when I go to the UK for the RIAT. It's always great for pictures and new serials, there are quite some new Typhoons compared to my last visit in july 2011. One Typhoon is never there (at least when I visit) and that's ZJ917/QO-G.
It's not in your log either.
Is it still coded QO-G and based at EGXC since there have been quite some changes in codes/quadrons?

regards, Per
