Whining Tornado ?
Re: Whining Tornado ?
This was covered months ago. Terry got the answer from the Boss of Air Warfare Centre on a visit to Donna. When the flare dispenser is empty the note is produced.

An empty pod would make a great addition if the GR4 ever returned to the display circuit. Imagine the noise of two empty pods on a GR4?

Nice one TJ, I was wondering what I was missing as I've not heard one yet.
Sounds great!

No problem, Gord. A few weeks ago I experienced it first hand myself with two 41 Squadron GR4s doing a run and break at Coningsby.^^Gord^^ wrote:Nice one TJ, I was wondering what I was missing as I've not heard one yet.

Re: Whining Tornado ?
That certainly is a thrilling noise.
Takes me back to the days of Hunters and Hooters at Binbrook.

Re: Whining Tornado ?
It was over Midleton On The Wolds (E Yorks) this morning aprox 10.40 It realy is a great sound and loud. Loud enough to be heard over the two F15`s that were flyin over it in the opposite direction. Quite a sight that aswell.
Girlfriend has now lost all hope for me, I`m not just watching aircraft I`m noting down times and places to post here. I might aswell get my self a scope and a note book

Me and Dad heard it, in real life, for the first time this Tuesday.
Thank you ZA600 / EB-G and the peeps from 41 Sqn for your two great sorties at Cby.

I saw and heard a whining Tornado on Friday morning, it was overflying my house near Brough, heading towards the Humber Bridge. We get quite a few overflying ,but that's the first one that whined. Regards Paul.
