So if 10 arrived and 9 departed. Where did ZA542 go? It was reported it left Sunday but was photographed on the line on Monday...can anyone tie it up?

The two people on base that have looked for it haven't been able to find the tenth which is why i'm a bit confused as to where it's gone?

Ah, sorry, misunderstood your question. Maybe it did depart on Sunday, and someone just assumed it was there Monday?

Hi All

I would be really interested to know where ZA542 is...as its my very last RAF Tornado needed!! And when they arrived last week wasn't able to come down due to work....Pub landlords don't often get much time off over the weekends!!

I did hear what sounded like a fast jet coming out of Brize yesterday evening at around 7PM. Could possibly be the one?
