WHEN it comes to bringing the noise, there are few to match the Typhoon.

Alongside the Red Arrows and the Vulcan, it is one of the big crowd-pullers at Bournemouth Air Festival.

The team this year is from 29 (Reserve) Squadron from RAF Coningsby.

The team, from pilot to engineers, has been hand-picked from the best of the RAF, who have proven their skills in their 'day jobs'.

The Typhoon is a 'multi-role' jet and can its weapons capabilities are second-to-none.

Its airframe is lightweight and durable thanks to modern manufacturing techniques and the use of composite matrerials - 70 per cent of it is carbon fibre.

The display pilot for 2014 is Flt Lt Noel Rees, who is from Southampton.

He went to Portsmouth Grammar School, where he joined the Combined Cadet Force (CCF) RAF Section.

Spending much of his spare time gliding with the Air Cadets, he was awarded Sixth Form and Flying Scholarships, before being awarded a bursary to study Aerospace Engineering at Bath University.

Noel joined the RAF in 2002 and began flying the Tornado after he completed Advanced Flying Training.

He has been deployed all over the world and in 2009 became a Qualified Flying Instructor at RAF Valley.

Noel was posted to the Typhoon Force in 2011 and remains with 29 (R) Squadron as a Typhoon QFI. He has since been deployed to the Middle East, France and Cyprus and contributes to RAF Coningsby's primary task of Quick Reaction Alert.
