Great photo - but what's that on the port side pylon? Looks almost
like a wingless TALD.
Its the Defensive Aids Sub System (DASS) pod it contains a Laser
Warning Receiver, among several other systems!!.
See http://www.eurofighter.starstreak.ne.../defences.html
for full details
John, I think he's asking about the gizmo in the pylon inbaord of the
wingtip, not the DASS pod at the tip itself.
Oh.. Sorry. in that case its most likely a smokewinder....!!
My guess is that it's an instrumentation pod of some sort, possibly for
AMCI, or maybe for flight testing.
