Tornado GR1/GR1A,GR4/GR4A Thread

[Maurits37]

Good morning,

Inspired by two other threads - the Tornado F2/F3 and Dutch F-16 threads, I would like to start this topic. In the past I saw a lot of RAF Tornado GR1s most former RAF Brüggen ones. Would by nice to share your older photo's of this beautiful plane if it's possible in older squadron colors and green/grey camo..
