The belly landing was DK which was ZJ943, that one has also long gone, I think it went to a museum but there's not much that can be done with it until there's a surplus of scrap parts. It was robbed of anything salvageable.
815 was a T1 twin with only 1500 hours on it, real shame seeing as they are fatigued to 6000hrs. Eventually there will be no twins with all training carried out with synthetic trainers such as the flight sim. First real flight in a Typhoon for future pilots will be their first solo. That will take some big B.......undercarriage!

Seems a real shame, but as they intend to keep two squadrons of early typhoons operational into the 2030's now, they will need to harvest the T birds for the early spec spares I guess. What a waste of tax payers money...
