TORNADO F3 SPECIALS!

Post by Tiger Tim » Sun Jan 09, 2011 2:49 pm

With the Tornado F3 getting closer to it's final days in RAF service :'( is No.111 (F) Squadron planning to paint a Tornado F3 in a very special "End of Era" colour scheme for the week leading up to the 31st March 2011 :S

I hope they do try and get this onto a jet so we have something else than ZE734/JU. (No offence intended)

A "all black" jet would be nice, very very very very nice. :Wow:

Are there enough F.3s for a Diamond Nine Formation? Would be great to see if they could have a Jaguar Farewell style (Enthusiasts) Photocall at Leuchars for the F.3s with a few Typhoons and other types thrown in for good measure.........

No chance,wouldn't even open cotts fir last day,and the chief of ATC tried and the mod still turned it down :unsure:
May the skies be clear and blue and the wind fair with a guiding star to steer by.

Leuchars and Lossiemouth had better not be getting closed. That's one way Wasteminster will lose Scotland to Independence The ConDem Coalition and MoD can close any other bases in England but as far as I''m concerned the 2 had better not be in Scotland.

Sorry to be controversial but that's how I feel about the situation.

Saw a picture for a proposed 25th anniversary scheme at work today with sqn crests and a fancy tail (looked quite good). Can't tell you which jet , when it's being done or even if it will be done, but watch this space.

Weel, if the Harriers can do it surely the F3s can do it!

I'm hoping ZE961/HB due to it's historical position.
