Thanks Gary and Daz for your replies.

I'm trying to do a bit of research into tornado zd842
Does anybody know if that airframe ever went out to iraq between 2003 and 2016 or where I might be able to find out such information if it did.
I know it went to leeming for rtp 24.3.16
Many Thanks
Mark R

Did you ever get an ID on this Mark?

Hi , no I've still got no ID on the pitot tube.
I've taken some pictures on my phone but haven't a clue how to post them on the forum.
I don't have flickr or anything like that to upload them from.

I checked the Gnat as promised above, but it has no manufacturers name on it, only the following numbering:

6A/8978
Mk 9M 27V
Se No. KH 3268/9/65
6A / 1040598

Thank you for that.
I'll take some photos tomorrow after work then work out how to post them.

Thanks for all the replies. I've been looking at more pictures on the Internet and from memory it looks to have a shaped end like a sea harrier frs 1 or a hawker hunter pitot tube. But can't tell the length of those. Some photos of the lightning pitot tube look like the end of the tube is rounded wh...

Hi effects. I will try and get some photos this weekend as this belongs to a friend of mine. It looks like one fitted to a tornado in shape at the end then gradually tapering up to a diameter of about 2 inch at the other end and it has a bracket with two holes welded on about 6 to 8 inches from the ...

Hi does anyone know if there is any literature available that would help me find out
what aircraft a certain pitot tube would have come off.
Its made by rosemount and has a model number of 855BU and is about 6ft long .
Any help of advice would be appreciated.
Many thanks Mark.

Hi lain
Thank you for providing the photos the bold writing is the same as I can make out under the paint so it looks like that's the air frame .
All I need to do now is restore it back to how it was then.
Thanks again Mark.

Thank you for that.
Will start doing some research.

Hi reaper493 I'm sorry but I don't know what squadron or time it was from. The canopy sill plate has been hanging on my garage wall for a few years and I've just noticed that in a certain light you can see the names underneath the paint so I was going to restore it back if I could fine out about it ...

Hi does anyone know which tornado had the names sqn ldr berry and flt lt wilson on
the side of the canopy may be F3 ?
Any help would be appreciated .
