- A Typhoon FGR4 of XI (FIGHTER) Squadron based at RAF Coningsby is cleared for departure in the savage +40mph winds of Storm Debi. The pilot whacks on full reheats for a rapid departure but had us in awe.
XI (F) Squadron is based at RAF Coningsby, one of two Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) stations in the UK. It is the world's oldest, dedicated fighter unit. Aircraft flown by the Squadron include Bristol Scout, Hurricane II, Lightning F6 and Tornado F3. XI (F) Squadron policed the no-fly zone over Libya during Operation ELLAMY.
XI (F) Squadron of the Royal Flying Corps was formed at Netheravon in Wiltshire on 14 February 1915 for "fighting duties", receiving two seat pusher Vickers Gunbus fighters in June, and deploying to France on 25 July 1915. It was the first squadron solely equipped with fighters to deploy with the RFC, or with any flying service. The twin Eagles on the Squadron's crest, awarded in May 1937, represent the two-seated fighters operated in the First World War
In April 1940 the squadron moved to India, and was briefly based at Karachi before it was ordered to transfer to Aden due to the increasing likelihood of war with Italy. The first of the squadron's Blenheims reached Aden on 19 June 1940, nine days after Italy declared war on Britain, and flew its first combat mission of the war on 19 June.
In 1952, the squadron was the first unit to operate the Venom FB1 and in 1988 Together with No V (AC) Squadron they became the last squadron to operate the Lightning aircraft.
The RAF announced that XI (F) Squadron would be the second front line squadron to re-equip with the Typhoon but would now be based at RAF Coningsby. The Squadron stood up at Coningsby on 29 March 2007. In March 2011, XI (F) Squadron along with assisted 29(R) Squadron personnel and additional aircraft supplied by 29(R) and 3(F) Squadrons, deployed to Gioia Del Colle, Bari, Italy, to help police the no-fly zone imposed by Resolution 1973 over Libya as part of Operation Ellamy.
In 2013 the squadron deployed to the Mediterranean again, this time RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, as part of 121 EAW providing air defence of Cyprus under the auspices of Operation Luminous.
Reheats or Afterburners?
These are the same thing; REHEAT (British), AFTERBURNER (US)
RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire is one of two RAF Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) Stations which protect UK airspace. RAF Lossiemouth is the other.
RAF Coningsby is home to two frontline, combat-ready squadrons and is the training station for Typhoon pilots.
RAF Coningsby opened in 1941, serving as an RAF Bomber Command station until the early 1960s. Coningsby has been a fighter station since the Phantom arrived in the late 1960s, followed by the Tornado and now the Typhoon. In 1976, Coningsby became home to the world-famous RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. The station has also been home to 617 Squadron and a base for the Vulcan Bomber.
Based at RAF Coningsby today are:
3 (F) Squadron
XI (F) Squadron
12 Squadron
29 Squadron OCU

Hands down one of the most unbelievable challenging conditions you've had to deal with from what I've watched and I've watched a few 😊! What's not too like when Typhoon blocks out the wind noise in microphone to fill with power and noise. Extremely well done I'd say Ted and Nikos. ❤ ing the work. Stay safe today 16th Nov
