There was also great coverage on the Radio 4 Today programme this morning and it was great to hear that the rivalry between IX(B) and 617 is alive and well. There’s a video of the journalist flying in a Tornado here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-4355828 ... af-tornado

There’s also a 360 camera video of the same sortie here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m3nP7CuaQlk

Excellent, I'll take a look at these

Thanks for the heads-up

Just watched the short version of the Today Programme video, I don't think the pilot heard Sarah's response when he asked if she wanted to see what the brakes feel like

The Today Programme was broadcast live from Marhams Aviation Heritage Centre this morning which was an excellent setting for the presenters and guests to get into the spirit of the show which was the RAF 100 year celebrations. Again if any of you guys are around Marham on a Tuesday or Wednesday pop in and have a look, chat and a brew and if you have any Marham memories bring them with you as we'd love to hear them.

I'd echo that, the Heritage Centre is full of some great material and they also sell patches and other memorabilia.

Yep, The Heritage centre is a must if you are in the area.

The full 360 degree video is available on the Today Programme Facebook. Well worth a look - particularly interesting is the pilot chatting casually about the 9 squadron/ 617 squadron rivalry whilst flying at low level !
