Trawling through the collection looking for helicopters and here's one with a swept Tornado. Can't ask for more

Glad that you think so too.
Out of curiousity, the helo shot was logged at 1300hrs, the following was taken at 1303hrs. So i wondered whether 013 of ??Sqdn is the swept one joining?? It is coming from the north so perhaps from Scotland? Beyond my knowledge.

These were both taken on Friday July 5 2013 at Waddington, Tornado GR4 is ZA404/013 of 617 squadron, Merlin HM1 is ZH838/70 of 814 squadron. The Tornado was scrapped at Leeming 3 months later.
