Roadrunning Tonka

Is anyone able to confirm the identity of the Tornado fuselage that was seen road running northbound on the A1M near Leeming yesterday afternoon?

Many thanks

ZA553 was moved yesterday according to the photos on the RAF Honington fb page. Not sure why it'd be running north tho

It wasn't ZA553 as you correctly surmise. You cant just reassemble a Tornado in 5 mins late last week then pop it on a truck again for a little road trip....

As per that page its most likely ZA463.
