....has a superb article on current PLAAF fighters, including a shot of a J-10 (or Lavi as our friend Zeke calls it), with what looks like a flight leaders band curving around the fuselage aft of the canards.
Also carries confirmation of the RAF order for three (old) RC-135 'Rivet Joint' Elint aircraft to replace the Nimrod R1's
Good issue this month and worth a twenty-minute examination, next time you're in 'Smiths !

Several of our local newsagents seem to have such antiquated staff members, seemingly for precisley this purpose....
Hopefully, they manage to ship it across "the pond" to my local book store ;D
We're talking about the June issue, right?

Thanks for Your kind words ! :wub:
And yeppp ... this was one of the J-10 taking part on the 60th anniversary celebration's fly-by and the yellow stripe - also applied to the J-11A - were done as formation flying marks.
Besides that part two of the PLAAF-report will follow next month ... something on the AEW-types in August ... and finally later that year part three on the bomber-force !
