According to the link, it will indeed be another one for 3 sqn as QO-J. They're also giving ZJ944 as QO-B. http://www.bmal.org.uk/typhoon.htm 11 sqn didn't do too well from the latest batch of deliveries did they.

I think all the block 8 Typhoons may go to 6Sqn when they form.

1435 Flt is manned by personnel drawn from across the F.3 force, likewise when Typhoon heads “Down South” it will be manned by personnel drawn from across Coningsby and not exclusively one Squadron as the Harrier and Tornado Dets are in sunnier climes.

Did it fly in squadron colours Milky, or is it just coded and unmarked?
