It's Leeming, and that's the Eastern HAS site (originally 23, then XI),missile dump beyond and North York Moors in the background.

Indeed
I recall the first Station Taceval after 23 arrived. XI were fulfilling their deployment role, i.e. we were lying on a beach in Cyprus.
We sent 23 a postcard, addressed to
Loser Squadron
RAF Much-Suffering-In-The-Marsh,
North Yorkshire
England
It arrived on the Ops desk at 23 in 3 days

Thinking back 34 years, I don't recall exactly when the Team Tornado badge was issued to those on the conversion course at TTTE (Crew solo, end of course, e.t.c), but in my time at Cottesmore I don't remember seeing any badge unpicked.
Commercially, the only version I've ever seen for sale is the version with no wording on the bottom, but I was told at TTTE that this was effectively a copyright issue - whether true or not, I have no idea.

It was definitely Tornado Tuesday yesterday down by Beachy Head - not the normal place to catch 2 x GR4 at low level, so thank you for the nice surprise at around 1400(L)

Maybe the same pair of GR4's that carried out a flyby at Southend Airport, same day 5th Aug.
There was plenty of dust in the air, and a little may have got in my eye!
