Photographed at RAF St Mawgan during Exercise 'Ample Train'. JG74 used to be known as the 'Mölders Geschwader' after German World War II fighter ace Werner Mölders, however in 1998 the German parliament decided that it was not proper to name organizations after people that were active in the Luftwaffe of Nazi Germany. Therefore the name 'Mölders' was dropped by JG 74 on 11 June 2005. The squadron is now flying the Eurofighter based at Neuburg an der Donau.
