Dual -14 was last reported with Ala 11. Please confirm the aircraft in question is wearing Ala 14 markings now.

Beside the Harriers and Eurofighters, there were also some (probably Ala 12 based) Hornets under the sunsheds.

There were 7 in total. Only one was readable on the nose (12-17).

Someone for the serials of the other 6 Hornets.

Hi Joris. You cannot see all of the badge and it is an acute angle but it looks like Ala14. Check for yourself on "X" at the address I posted earlier.

The photo of the dual Eurofighter shows code 11-14.

The photo I referred to is not a twin stick. I have not figured out how to post it on this forum so I have posted it on Milspotters site under the title "Unit identity help". Go have a look as I think we must be looking at different photos.

I think Hans and I now agree that the photo I referred to is a single seat Typhoon coded 14-14 with an Ala 14 badge demonstrably taken at Torrejon in the torrential rain!
