I've been told comingvto Warton 30mins earlier as unable to AAR due weather

[TombsRIP]

in case you have been on Mars for the last hour or so the 3 tonkas involved in flyby at Warton at 1432z were
ZD716/DH 31 Sqn spcl fin mks (lead ship "Tornado01");
ZD744/092 ("Tornado 02");
ZA542/035 ("Tornado 03").
obviously fin codes 035 & 092 had to replace the
retro camo jet ZG752 (129) & the IX(B) spcl fin ZG775/AF which had gone u/s
