In the book "Panavia Tornado" from Andy Evans there is a photo showing the F3's
cockpit and your assumtion is right. But the pilot's display looks different (only a few
knobs below the display) than the normal TV-tabs.
So since the photo in the book shows even text on the pilot's display ths is definitively
some computer controlled display. Those days displays with internal analog storage
where widely used since the computer could draw the information and the display
will display it until a change has to be made - maybe the TV-tabs where of this type?
