History
As the nation prepared for the 80th anniversary of D-Day in summer 2024, aviation fans across Britain frequently checked the Royal Air Force Typhoon Display Team's social media for any exciting updates. Indeed, on a rainy Monday in May, the doors of a hardened aircraft shelter (HAS) at RAF Coningsby opened to unveil a stunning Eurofighter Typhoon adorned in 1944 camouflage and identification markings.
The striking design on Typhoon FGR.4 ZJ913 was inspired by the RAF No.257 (Burma) Squadron Hawker Typhoon Mk.Ib, piloted by Officer Denzil Jenkins during the D-Day landings on 6th June 1944, featuring the iconic black and white identification stripes that were a hallmark of Allied aircraft over Normandy on D-Day. This was a brilliant move by the RAF PR team, and this aircraft captivated millions during the subsequent airshow season, at commemorative events in both the UK and France, and during a successful Canadian tour.
Fans quickly gave this unique aircraft a nickname, and from that initial day at Coningsby, she was known as 'Moggy', a clever nod to the squadron codes she bore, using the roundel as an O. Unfortunately, this appealing aircraft only served as the RAF display Typhoon for one season, but it will be fondly remembered as one of the most beloved RAF aircraft of the post-war period.
'Moggy' can now be a standout piece on your workbench, alongside the aircraft that inspired her design, with both model kits beautifully capturing this extraordinary link between past and present.
