RTP

Pleas could someone offer the full meaning of this mnemonic? I have looked through the thread. Don't bust a gut, it isn't really life threatening if I never get an answer :D

Tornado GR4s seen flying at Marham Tue 17 Jan during period 1030-1615 in below order:
ZA473/032
ZA546/038
ZA462/027
ZA472/031
ZA459/025
ZG791/137 (Arrival only – fitted with 2250 ltr. tanks)
ZA594/060

In addition ZG775 coded EB-Z noted being washed outside hangar on main site.
(ejection seats removed).

This writer departed at 1630 due to fading light and a very numb shutter finger.

[**I will not be recording individual callsigns due to an aircrew request**

Callsigns/serials correct according to PP/VR - I will always record the movements using observations by members whenever possible - these logs serve only as a record - info also obtained from Donny Radar Search Database]

Please note - I will only log the aircraft once per day - i'm not going to record the same jet going up 4 times a day with a different callsign and I would encourage members not to do so either - this isn't a movements topic, if you want to record the aircraft movements throughout the day please post it as a log on the Marham section as this topic is simply to log that the aircraft flew that day]
