What a jet, and what a fine contribution it made to the Royal Air Force
Slightly different to what is reported in Flight Global.

It reports that 8 of the remaining 22 Tornado GR4 are still on operations from Cyprus and those operations will cease at the end of February when the jets will return to Marham.

Whichever, you are absolutely right about how significant this remarkable fast jet has been to the RAF - for nearly 40 of its 100 year history.

The good news is that there will still be over 250 Tornado in service with German, Italy and Saudi Arabia for at least till 2025.
