looks like tartan 31 is the photoship off the norfolk coast, unless tail 20 is the photoship?

Damn, i love the colours, but i hate the way this has all been done way to late for a lot of us to share. :down:

Will follow the flight as best as possible and report direction its heading if its over land so some of you might be able to at least hear the beasts overhead.

Would be nice if they headed east over Yarmouth, say at about 1000 feet, as that is where I am today :tongue:

Looking at ADS-B, all 4 look to be about 7 miles north of Marham.

That’s a stunning scheme, really annoyed that they didn’t paint them up for last year’s airshow season when more than a handful of people could actually get a chance to see them. :confused:

while not strictly a UK tornado, ADS-B currently has ZE114 (Saudi Tornado) from Warton out over the Irish Sea around the top of the Isle of Man, at 18000ft @ 2.59pm

Hard to believe this may very soon be the sole flying Tornado in the UK! :sad:
