Late night refueling stop during Bamboo Eagle.

90 years 6 squadron special colours

The low light at Lossiemouth can be stunning during the winter months. As can be seen on this 6 Squadron Typhoon. It is recently that the blue shields with the red can opener on the tails are being replaced with white discs with the same distinctive red can opener.

About to carry out a touch-and-go on Runway 05 at RAF Lossiemouth. Carries the markings of No. 6 Squadron RAF and, beneath its cockpit, the name of Sqn Ldr J Lee. Taken on charge by the RAF in 2013.

Recently, 6 Squadron has changed their tail markings from a blue shield and a red can opener to a more traditional style white disk with a red can opener - as can be clearly seen on the tail of ZK336.

Taxying in after a mission during its short TDY here from Lossiemouth.

On approach for Runway 12 at Prestwick, returning after a morning sortie as VENOM22. Carries on the port side beneath its cockpit the pennant of WG Cdr G. Montgomery, while the starboard side displays the commemorative marking "The MacRobert Fighter - Sir Roderic". Lady MacRobert lost two sons on active service with the RAF in WWII, one flying a Hurricane in the Middle East and the other in a Blenheim. She donated a Stirling and four Hurricanes to the war effort. The Stirling flew with XV Sqn as the defiant "MacRobert's Reply", a name continued on the unit's Tornados. After XV Sqn disbanded at RAF Lossiemouth in 2017, the based No 6 Sqn picked up the baton to keep the memory of the MacRobert contribution alive on one of their Typhoons.
