Tornado ZD842

Post by Mark R » Mon Jul 12, 2021 5:32 pm

I'm trying to do a bit of research into tornado zd842
Does anybody know if that airframe ever went out to iraq between 2003 and 2016 or where I might be able to find out such information if it did.
I know it went to leeming for rtp 24.3.16
Many Thanks

ZD842 /105 was a Twin stick so unlikely to have gone on ops to Iraq. Might be wrong though as a T did go to Cyprus for a short while

Will have a look in my logbook later but I’m sure i flew ZD842 at some stage, possibly TWCU either ‘88 or ‘91 at Honington.

UK Serials website lists arriving at Leeming 26-03-16 for RTP
Not sure of actual scrapping date and when fuselage hulk was removed after the process
