Re: Tornado GR4 Fleet General Info
On your main list you list the callsigns used.
15 Sqn and 41 Sqn do not fly Tornado any more so these listed callsigns are superfluous.

Re: Tornado GR4 Fleet General Info
As a note, ZA543 has been flying uncoded since at least the 12th of Feb.

Perhaps I should delete the list of RTP/WFU airframes as well seeing as they are no longer flown?tommc wrote:On your main list you list the callsigns used.

Re: Tornado GR4 Fleet General Info
This is my favourite section of this board. The callsigns, regardless of whether still active or not, together with the list of airframes again regardless of whether active or not, gives an excellent and comprehensive record of the Tornado GR4 fleet. These things when read in the context of the thread in its entirely provides completeness. The way the information is presented makes it pretty clear which airframes are still active and since you know which Squadrons are still operating Tornado, it should be a straightforward task to pick out what you need. Don't see any value in removing anything at all.

Re: Tornado GR4 Fleet General Info
ZA611 landed at Marham straight into retirement as a serviceable airframe, it will be disposed of relatively soon.
Of note regarding this airframe it was the last ever GR4 to go through the BAE “major” depth stripdown and overhaul.

You just seem to have chosen an arbitrary list of squadrons callsigns. For example 14 Sqn are not listed. They flew GR4 but no longer do. Exactly the same as 15 Sqn.
Re: Tornado GR4 Fleet General Info
Steven NFFC has yet to alter part of this list, which has the most recent callsigns used by 2 units that have now disappeared in the last year...
On a list of Tornadoes started in 2013. Some two years after 14 Sqn disbanded I might add...
I have seen being picky in all the years I have worked in aviation publishing at both Aerospace and Key since 1991. Why start here, now ?? when a year and one month from tomorrow the type will be replaced by a hoovering wheelie bin called DAVE
