Two Saudi Air Force Typhoons ready for take-off at Waddington. However, note the open panel (marked in red) on the front Typhoon, resulting in a turn around by both aircraft back to their dispersal.
The oversight was noticed by the RAF 'runway controllers' who sit in a red and white truck called the Caravan, next to the runway.
The panel is known as a MDP or Maintenance Data Panel. It's a small display used to interface with the jet. Its also the last panel closed before the jet taxis out.
