The Red and White van is the LOCAL AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER, he's looking out for various safety related problems, one of which would be spotting an aircraft landing without its gear down.
and yes all those Typhoons are "OURS"!

The LATC also prevents tragedy. Pity they didn't have one in South Africa. We'd be a pilot and Lightning better off if they did.
