Tornado GR1 + GR4 - All UK operators

Post by F3 » Mon Feb 11, 2019 9:33 pm

Despite the numerous Tornado pics which have been posted on this forum recently I thought that some might appreciate a collection of examples from all the RAF squadrons and other establishments which have operated the type. All the RAF examples are in the original tactical camouflage wherever possible (as that is what the majority seem to prefer) and in normal markings (i.e. no special schemes). The odd one out is ZA326 which is in Boscombe Down's raspberry ripple scheme.
I cannot claim credit for the air to airs of 9 & 13 Sqn. a/c (other than scanning the photos from my collection) which have been added to give some variety. I hope this will serve to jog some memories of those Tornado operators that may have been forgotten, several of whom were disbanded or re-numbered after the 1st. Gulf War.
