Terrific video.
I didn't realise the Tornado had a handbrake. (1:50 in to the video)

This may be of interest, perhaps? It includes details of the pair used on the last op mission, etc.

Re: Tornados left in service
Someone there today told me the opposite - it is due to fly the disbandment parade next Thursday...?

Re: Tornados left in service
Will ask when I get the chance but it was also mentioned, only one more flight left for the whole fleet.

Re: Tornados left in service
The rumour I heard on the fenceline last week was only one jet to fly the disbandment parade, and it was the 9 Sqn tail alongside 9 Sqn Typhoons? But then I heard about the camo jet today. All very confusing.

We were told by the pilot on Friday it wasn't the camo jet for the disbandment parade
