Pardon my ignorance.
Is Tarnish a BAE Call sign and therefore is (063) on it's way to Leeming.
Please can you clarify
Thanks in advance

Tarnish 21 is a BAE callsign that tests the Aircraft post maintenance ( shake down )so hopefully 063 will be back in the fleet soon.

Very saddened by this. The last 'MacRobert's Reply' GR4. By far my favourite Tornado and was lucky enough to get up close at Lossie last year. Some lovely touches on this jet such as the tailcode LS-F which was the code of the original Short Stirling 'MacRobert's Reply', as well as the names of the original crew of that 'MacRobert's Reply' added on the fuselage.

025 was due to be withdrawn from use in the next week or two, if it is damaged I doubt very much it will leave leeming.
