Join us live at TED HQ, aka RAF Coningsby for an action packed live show with the Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4. Everyday is different at RAF Coningsby and as it is home to two frontline combat ready squadrons, an OCU (Operational Conversion Unit) who train our next gen Typhoon pilots, a TES (Test and Evaluation Squadron) and a joint RAF/QEAF squadron. It is home to the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) and the Typhoon Display Team. This time of year we will start to see the practice displays from both BBMF and the Typhoon. Listen out for TURBO or Merlin engines.

This year's 2024 Typhoon Display Pilot is David "TURBO" Turnbull. He will be doing his first set of 10 practice displays at 1,500ft and then will lower it to 500ft hard deck before being allowed to smack it right down to 100ft. Once you hear callsign TURBO, there will be excitement. However, Turbo will also be carrying out practice displays around the country, this is to prepare him and get used to performing displays away from the home base, which is what airshow season is all about. Before Turbo will be allowed to display at airshows, he will need to achieve and obtain his PDA (Public Display Authority). Without this insurance, he will not be able to display at airshows and venues. The other responsibility is once a pilot obtains a PDA, they cannot go more than 10 days with some sort of display, whether practice or real world at air shows. Failing this would result in having to reapply for a PDA.

29 SQUADRON
During World War One, 26 of the pilots had achieved 'Ace' Status. Aircraft flown have included the Mosquito, Phantom and Tornado F3. 29 Squadron train RAF combat air pilots on the Typhoon, ready for frontline operations. In 1915, 29 Squadron formed at Gosport and travelled to France as a fighter squadron. Then in 1940 the Squadron began service as a defensive night fighter squadron. Three years later, they began offensive night intruder operations defending RAF heavy bombers. In 1987, the Squadron ecame the first operational squadron to be equipped with the Tornado F3 and in 2003 they were the second RAF squadron to receive the Typhoon.
