RAF Tornado GR.1 1989 - a few serials needed

Post by Dazza37 » Sun Jan 13, 2013 10:32 pm

Evening all, i have several pictures (not mine, they're of the web) of RAF Tornado GR.1s taken during 1989 at what i believe is a Red Flag exercise. The problem is none of the serials are visible and i was wondering if anyone can tie them up for me please? The only info i can give is as follows-

9 Sqn - tailcode AM
unknown Sqn - tailcode GM - black letters with blue outline
15 Sqn - tailcodes F and EL
31 Sqn - tailcode DE
16 Sqn - tailcode FM
14 Sqn - tailcode BC

The pics were all found on Flickr and i can provide a link if anyone thinks that may help.

Hi Dazza

I've had a look through my list of old slides, and have found the following (although the dates don't always match):

9 Sqd AM: ZD789 (1993)
GM: 20 Sqd ZA464 (1989)
15 Sqd F: this is tricky as F was the code used on the specially marked "McRoberts Reply" aircraft which changed quite a lot. I have ZA446 in 1988.
15 Sqd EL: no luck
31 Sqd DE: ZD844 (1993)
16 Sqd FM: no luck
14 Sqd BC: no luck (the only BC I have are on 29 Sqd F3s)

Hope this helps a little

Why is it always the last book out of 6 that I looked in:

15 Sqd EL: ZA459
16 Sqd FM: ZA473
14 Sqd BC: ZD848

Cheers
