A post in the Lossie page for yesterday has ZG707/119 as noted in TEF.

It had disappeared off Demobbed, having seemingly been banished to Leeming

Yes, desperate times for the RAF Tornado fleet. Another frame escapes the RTP clutches at the last minute!

If the money was available, are the production tools extant? Could more be built to give another twenty years of their capability?

I assume that the existing fleet will soon run out of airframe and engine hours.

I would be surprised if there was anything left for building anymore, let alone any money for a production restart.

And Airframe hours isn't the deciding factor, its the Airframes FI Fatigue Index that rules now IIRC, in other words how many times its pulled lots of G.

Happy to be corrected on that
