Well, I have my own very personal memories of the Tornado.

As someone who grew up always dreaming of being a pilot, but sadly was born with defective eyesight which meant that flying (and many other careers) was a non-starter, being invited to visit Lossiemouth was absolutely wonderful. I had a great day, and attach a picture of myself in the "drivers seat" of a Tornado

There were a couple of aircraft going out on a night exercise, and would I like to go and see them take off. I thought we'd be some distance away, but we got into a landrover and drove to the end of the runway. The second picture shows how close we were when they started their takeoff run.

A great day, and memories I'll treasure for the rest of my days.
