The End of an Era at Lossiemouth Pt3

[Hunter]

A few photographs from the Tornado GR4 Marham Wing's display marking the disbandment of XV (R) Squadron on Friday 31 March (I understand that the four GR4s from Marham were from 12 (B) Squadron, but haven't been able to confirm.) As with the last day of XV (R) Squadron GR4 flight operations from Lossiemouth on Friday 17 March, the weather was not ideal!

In no particular order;

Great to see a four ship of Tonkas in the air.

What will become of XV(R) ? Will it reactivate as a front line Squadron in the next few years?

The Best of the Best. Great selection, my favourite aircraft, the last of the classics :-(
