6 Squadron, based at RAF Leuchars, have continued to develop the multi-role capability of Typhoon by dropping inert Paveway II bombs for the first time from the Tranche 2 version of the combat aircraft.
Pilots embarked on a series of training sorties over Cape Wrath Range last week to deliver this air to surface capability as part of ‘Combat Ready’ training work up sorties. It is the first time that 6 Sqn has dropped a bomb since it was re-formed at RAF Leuchars in 2010 as a frontline Typhoon Squadron.
