Oh no just my luck. Typical. Had hoped to see at least one more before they retire.

Not sure what the serial was but ZH857 isn't a Tornado and has never been allocated. Suspect a typo for something else :thumb:

Wee bit of a shame I'll possibly not see the flypast next Thursday as due work commitments I can't get to Leuchars, Lossie or Tain but if they could fit in a quick pass of Turnhouse before or after would be great. Either that or the Ferranti HQ in Edinburgh if poss...……..or both..

Take it there’s little chance of a cheeky sly pass by the 3 ship Farewell Flypast on Thursday en-route Leuchars. Lossiemouth & Tain then. Seeing as Tornados of both variety used to stop off regularly at RAF Turnhouse either overshoot or landing.

Hopefully there will be NOTAMs published for each of the three days which will give greater details of routing than Marham's Facebook/Twitter pages will give.
Cheers, Bob
