A Camo Scheme RAF Tornado GR4 has been revealed (Well the tail) on the RAF's Twitter

Woooooo

[MiG_Eater]

Wow.

I expect Marham to be very busy over the next couple of months... (with enthusiasts - not aircraft!)

Just the tail looking at that photo.

[James Cutting]

Agree there MiG Eater.

EGVP, I have a feeling it might be the whole aircraft, as it extends past the tail in the image, if you look near the bottom.

Do you think we'll see it in the Loop?.................

[Supra]

More importantly.... didn't see where it says it's an airframe with flying hours left on it? Nightmares of the 'Tiger Phantom' at Wotashame still bother me!

[Weazel69]

for me personally James the green/grey camo scheme was the preferred one, and for those who can remember the 75th Anniversary schemes at the Boscombe Down IAT in 1990 - NICE!!

[James Cutting]

Nice to see it, and being only 21, I never got to see the proper camo tornado's, so I'm happy

[Blackcat1]

Pity they couldnt retire her in August and have all the Specials at Fairford !

[James Cutting]

Now THAT would be nice!!!

It should be ZG752 (was one of the RAF 100 red tail decal aircraft last year) - or at least I think that that was the plan, if so it's still got a few hours left on the airframe.

You're missing the point here! Much better to have an extremely limited number of persons given paid-access for a single non-flying day event at Marham, then quickly sweep the Tornado under the carpet!
Having the Tornado limp along for another couple of months would be too much, given the mahoosive number of shiny Lightning II's available to take-over?

[Blackcat1]

It would be great to see them arrive and depart RIAT for me that would be the star items for RIAT

[Vulcanone]

Well as they are all retired at the end of March...… Fat Chance

It would be great to see them arrive and depart RIAT for me that would be the star items for RIAT

I hoping that they will do a fly around their old haunts in the UK thing during the last few days...

[Blackcat1]

RAF Cottesmore?? All the remaining ones doing circuits/low level passes as a reminder of TTT. days, £20 a head to spectators, free to locals of course

Tail and spine then, like the other specials, which is what I meant in the first place I just wasn't very clear - sorry!

The RAF Marham Station Commander has confirmed in February, there will be a tour, as such.
