Tornado GR4 Fleet General Info

ZA585 swapped with ZD849

[Lossie]

Is there a change where jets going to Leeming for RTP don't do low level any more, they seem to just head up over the North Sea. Getting RTP jets low level on their final sortie used to be fairly common but not seen any reported low level on their RTP sortie for quite a while.

Hi Motley can you say anymore about the few going to RTP,
are they going before runway shuts?

Not hundred percent sure which are going but i now 003 is going before the end of the month, that will mean theres only 2 GR4As left i believe

Rebel ## ZA559 went to RTP today :-( according 41 Squadrons Facebook page, unless its an old post?

[Vulcanone]

Footage of it departing Coningsby clean would tend to confirm that.

[Blackcat1]

Yeah just wanted confirmation as I haven't seen it myself and I was asked by a non member of this forum if it was today

[Motley]

If that is 049 gone to Leeming that will make a few people happy, one of the worse jets in the fleet for getting problems

[Blackcat1]

And she wasn't showing on yesterdays logs or live radar logs so was wondering if it was yesterday she went.

[DavidT]

I noticed it on Donny Radar Wed 30 Aug as Ascot 9801 (as per Steven's report)

[Blackcat1]

Been added now, Rebel ##, it wasn't on the log yesterday lol

[reaper493]
