Tornado's 9th Feb 209

Post by leestorer » Wed Feb 13, 2019 7:39 am

Hi

Can anyone identify the 2 Tornado's in the compound by the train station on Saturday 9th February 2019?

One looked intact with the cockpit covered and the second missing its tail.

Many thanks

There are / were 3 in the compound ZA320, ZA323 and ZA357, of these three ZA357 still had fin attached, the other two are finless.
Hope this helps.

I was there on Sat 23rd and could see two.
Euromobbed suggests the one in camo without a tail is ZA320, so the one with a tail and 15 Sqn markings must have been ZA357.

Had a walk round them with the excellent Threshold Aero base tour.
