Labels would be nice. Who makes these funny looking planes, England.
One looks like a old Russian type with the canard on a fighter. Do
those do anything on a fighter type plane? I know Rutan likes them.
The smaller one reminds me of an F-20 Tiger shark, the universal
Eurofigher we made, that no-one wanted. I'm putting in ear plugs now.

Nope, the canards are just for show...

Anyways...

The cast in order of appearance:

Beech B-200 Super King Air
Lockheed C.3 Hercules
BAE Hawk T.1
Shorts Tucano T.1
Eurofighter Typhoon F2 then T1

Anyone know what are the King Airs used for in RAF service? Google
implies these were previously civil registered with a commercial
operator.

Again the RAF site will tell you all...........

They did enter service with civilian registrations (they are operated under
a lease agreement) but the rules for military registered aircraft are
different and so some have been re-registered (I understand) to take
advantage of this.

Thanks for the link. Didn't think that would be so accurate and succinct.
Somebody’s on the ball with the RAF site. Compare that to, oh say...
