An atmospheric shot of a visiting Austrian Air Force Typhoon being towed into position on the morning of the very last RAF Leuchars Airshow. The glass-fronted building directly behind the Typhoon is the old ATC tower, known locally as "Peppermint Palace" on account of its light green hue, whilst to the rear is one of Leuchars' four massive "C Type" hangars. The RAF Ensign can be seen flying from the roof of Peppermint Palace together with the Station Commander's Air Commodore pennant.

A fully armed "Q" jet about to perform a "One Eighty" to backtrack Leuchars main runway after returning from a mission. The aircraft is armed with 4x AIM-132 ASRAAM and 4x AIM-120 AMRAAM, as well as its internally-mounted 27mm Mauser cannon. Because of its strategic location, Leuchars has been home to the RAF's frontline air defence fighter aircraft throughout the Cold War to date, defending the UK's airspace from airborne threat almost continuously, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. "Attack & Protect".
