Hi Maurits,
spotters in England say it's a disbanding tail...not an anniversary tail. 17sq is supposed to stand down on the 17th of april and will stand up soon after on the F-35 at Eglin AFB.....
The typhoons will be transfered to 41sq.....

regards
Frank

Sounds likely indeed. The tail shows 1915-biplane, 2013-Typhoon. That would be an anniversary tail for 98 years. Don't see that too often...
