[joost]

they confuse me its ASCOT 9507 and ASCOT 9509

First flight was also RRR9605 etc etc instead of RRR9065..

FYI : Flight of Typhoons were heard overhead UK as RRR9601 x5 (9601 returned to Conningsby) & RRR9605 x 5, Supporting tankers were RRR9201 (ZD951 via Mode-s) & RRR9203 (ZA149 via Mode-s)
Appearantly they are enroute to next Edition of Red Flag.

To add, Fightercontrol reported planned was for Typhoons : RRR9601-9605 & RRR9606-9609

And still on the ground, a Dutch F16 J-369 inside the portuguese hangar.

I think this bird has to be J-067/AZ, also a dual ... as J-369 has been seen yesterday on the ground at Tucson, Arizona (same destination as J-067 is/was intended to go to as replacement of two F-16BMs with the 148th FS training detachment, that will return to The Netherlands after the Red Flag 13-2 group comes home via NAS Yuma.
