Hi there,
Please can anyone help with the following, seen on Thursday 22-7-93 at IAT Fairford were two 31 Sqd Tornados escorting the two Hungarian Mig-21s to the show, did anyone get the serial numbers of them I wonder,

Many thanks and stay safe all,

Rob

BARG report one of them as being ZD892/DX using call sign RFR531B from and to Bruggen.

Big thanks for that eagle driver

cheers

Rob

If it helps, ZE116 Tornado GR1A DG from 31 Sqn was present at the show on 25/07/93, but perhaps it came in with its 9 and 14 Sqn Bruggen oppos.

Were the MiG-21s in the weekend flying / static display? I don't remember them! I only have 204 An-26 from the Hungarian Air Force. :-(

Both Tornados flew direct from RAF Bruggen escorting the 4 x Mig-21's " Magyar Kapos " then RTB . RFR531A / RFR531B both 31 Sqn . I checked through the rest of the BARG's for 1993 but no tie up on the other one .

The Mig-21's and another AN-26 ( 209 ) were parked Northside among the flying assets .

Thanks all for your replies and help,

Rob

DX is in fact ZD812 also typo in the Scramble report- IAT93.

Thanks for that,

Rob
