"I'd been invited to RAF Marham, in Norfolk, to help the RAF's XI Squadron celebrate a rather special birthday. The Tornado bomber turned 25 on January 6"
Nice to see the accuracy of the report is of the usual standard. I would have thought XI Sqn would have celebrated the 25th anniversary of the ADV variant of the Tornado sometime during 2011.

Not very good with his roman numerals is he?
XI vs IX
Edted to add:
You beat me by a minute Zulu Hotel.
XI(F) have already picked up their first few Typhoons so the 2011 party is off..
