Re: ZA463 prep for final resting place
Sad day, but at least she is not being scrapped.
Re: ZA463 prep for final resting place
First Tornado I ever saw up close at the Marham photo op day in May last year.
Where is her resting place?

As it stands she is to become a gate guard at Lossie replacing the aging ZA475

ZA463 was 028, I’m guessing the fin off 046 was removed before the fuselage was destroyed.

Re: ZA463 prep for final resting place
Yeah very strange to see the fin of ZA554 on the fuselage of ZA463! I imagine will cause confusion in the years to come....
Re: ZA463 prep for final resting place
Confused with this as I saw this aircraft (046 - ZA554) back in April as it was being put in a HAS.

Re: ZA463 prep for final resting place
ZA554 has a sad and chequered history. The aircraft was initially to be displayed as the lossie gate guard.
However the aircrafts history made it not ideal so it has been swapped for ZA463.
The fin off 046 was saved, the fuselage has been recycled.

Re: ZA463 prep for final resting place
Was the 028 fin also scrapped along with the 046 fuselage?
