Four RAF Typhoons (ZK426, ZK340, ZK364 & ZK308) sporting 12 Squadron markings flew in on the 24th November 2025 for a nightstop on their way to the Middle East. They were supported by an Airbus Voyager KC.2 ‘ZZ331’.
Number 12 Squadron, also known as No. 12 (Bomber) Squadron and occasionally as No. XII Squadron, was reformed in July 2018 as a joint RAF/Qatar Emiri Air Force squadron. It is currently based at RAF Coningsby, Lincolnshire, and operates the Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4, while temporarily integrating Qatari air and ground crews in order to provide training and support as part of the Qatari purchase of 24 Typhoons from the UK. It is interesting to note the UK and Qatari national flags beneath the Squadron’s fox emblem in the badges adorning their aircraft.
