And a final two shots from me...

Unfortunately I only have my photos sorted by country and type until the end of 1996 - and there's an awful lot of them still to get through before I reach 'digital' in 2007. Always thought it was a job for the winter - roll on the next ice age......!



ZE967 "EU" 23 Squadron at Finningley 18th September 1993



ZG776 (yes - it really is!) no marks at Waddington 13th April 1996



By my reckoning there's just ten more to go - over to you!

I've held back on this one as most of mine aren't that good - all scanned from film. Since this is getting near the end, I can help fill a couple of gaps - ZE730 & ZE830 both on Congingsby's line from September 1990. Not the best of shots but still a record from over 20 years ago.

Here is my shot of ZD899 - the first production F.2

Tornado F2mod ZD899 - Warton by Jetnoise

The pic was taken at the Warton Open Day in August 1998
For those who may not be aware, ZD899 did not enter service but was retained by BAe as a development aircraft.

It was the first ADV to be modified to take the twin IN installation which was standard on the F.3
ZD899 did not get the longer back-end and uprated engines of the F.3, but was also used for radar trials and even had the JTIDS Link 16 data link fitted for trials purposes - so it should be referred to as an F.2mod.

Thanks Jetnoise, only 5 to go now.

Thanks, list updated.

Hi
There seem to be a lot of images no longer available. This post is a wonderful archive and I wondered is there no way that copies of the images could be saved in a secure area thereby retaining the integrity of the archive?
Just a thought.
Keep up the good work
