Post by Macc »

Now entering their 31st year of service and showing their age, let's see your photos of ground attack Tornados before they bow out in the next few years. Please post a max of 5 images per post, you can make as many posts as you want though.

1. Four jets on Bravo dispersal at RAF Lossiemouth.

Yeah, forgot about them. Couldn't think of the designation which encompasses GR1/GR4/IDS and ECRs as one.

A few from almost 10 years ago - August 2003 saw the disestablishment of MFG-2, and the retirement of the Tornado from the German Navy, at Eggebek. All scanned from Fujichrome slide.

Doubt you'd get a line like this nowadays.

I didn't realise they'd lost it. I'm sure it arrived at the airfield. :whistle:
