Lutwaffe Tornado ECRs grounded???

Post by Hunter » Thu Oct 16, 2014 4:23 pm

I was on the fence line by 202 Squadron at RAF Lossiemouth yesterday lunchtime when I received a call telling me that there was a post on Facebook (?) saying that all Luftwaffe Tornado ECRs had been grounded. This apparently explains why the Germans came out to fly on Tuesday only to return to their hangar within an hour or so. Can anyone confirm? I've looked on the official Bundeswehr website and can find no reference to this supposed grounding.

I also heard this whilst on the fence at lossie. Don't have any evidence to confirm though.
