The DA2 with the registration ZH588 of the British Royal Air Force was the first single seater Typhoon of the United Kingdom and took-off for the first time from Warton air force base in Lancashire county in April 1994. It was officially subordinated to No. 43 Squadron at Leuchars, Scotland and carries the unit’s heraldic animal – a gamecock – on the tail unit. In January 2008, the machine was transferred to the Royal Air Force Museum in Hendon near London to be exhibited there. The model in the 1/200 scale is limited to 1,500 items. Designed as part of a co-operative effort by Germany, Italy and the UK to produce an air superiority fighter, the Eurofighter was first flown on March 27th, 1994. The Eurofighter is a single-seat, twin-engine, agile combat aircraft used in air-to-air, air-to-ground and tactical reconnaissance roles. It is intentionally aerodynamically unstable, which gives it its high levels of agility-but this means the Typhoon is controlled by a computerized "fly by wire" system instead of by its pilot. The Eurofighter's first rate performance is matched by excellent all round vision and by sophisticated attack, identification and defense systems and stealth technology. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
