Whilst it is the pilot (Flt Lt Ryan<br />
Lawton) who displays the aircraft,<br />
he cannot even begin to do his job<br />
without the unfaltering commitment<br />
and backing of the dedicated group<br />
of professionals that make up<br />
the Typhoon Display Team. This<br />
year’s team, from 29(R) Squadron,<br />
comprises a specialist from every<br />
aircraft trade along with support<br />
and management teams to assist<br />
both the pilot and the trades, all<br />
of whom work closely together to<br />
bring you the dazzling spectacle<br />
that is the Typhoon Display.<br />
The Typhoon is a multi-role<br />
combat aircraft, capable<br />
of performing the full<br />
spectrum of air operations:<br />
from air policing, to peace<br />
support, through to high<br />
intensity conflict. It is a<br />
high performance, and<br />
extremely agile aircraft<br />
that allows the Royal Air<br />
Force to deliver combat<br />
air power wherever and<br />
whenever it is required.<br />
