Nice shot, but it's 31 squadron not 32.

Always nice to see a special paint job. You were certainly in right place at the right time to catch it.

Earlier today, I saw on Twitter, a photo of a 31 Sqn marked Tornado marked as flying out to RAF Leeming for RTP. Is it ZD716?


Edited to add: Panic over - I've just checked the Twitter photo again and it was a jet sent to RTP in 2015, with a Gold Star emblem on the tail marking 100 years of 31 Sqn.
