Photo Comment

This EF-2000 was quite new at this time and devoid of unit markings. Later coded 14-20. The bull marking on the tailfin is worn by all Spanish Typhoons and I think I read somewhere that it stands for the bravery of the Spanish fighter pilots, but this may be wrong. Apparently C16-10046 was a provisional serial for this aircraft.
