Thanks for that Pontius Navigator
I was ultimately hoping to match a port inboard flap with one or more of the aircraft to which it was once fitted. It has a pretty crude looking “Panavia” plate riveted to the track which gives it’s:
part number P155001 803
individual serial number 0567
date 4/84
and an unknown number of A4388
there is also some hand engraved info on the same track which includes a BEM number? another number similar to the part number and the letters BAe which I’m guessing could all have been added by engineers at BAe?
The other flaps I have (on my living room wall....I’m single) all have a form 731 and one has an engineering log card which of course gives the complete history
If the flap was built in 1984, would anyone know which type of Tornado it was fitted to?
It’s painted in a pretty dark battleship grey, it isn’t two-tone or striped like others and is an incredible bit of engineering. Despite the BAe indications, I always thought these were made in Italy!
