The RAF Typhoons were from 12 Squadron, the joint UK-Qatar Typhoon squadron, which is currently deployed to Qatar to support the formation of the QEAFs first Typhoon squadron and to support air security operations for the upcoming FIFA World Cup. Typhoons from 7 Squadron, the QEAFs first Typhoon squadron, flew alongside the RAF in the flypast.
