Did I miss the last flights?

Hi all,

My dad Russ Pengelly was a test pilot on Tornado and was killed flying prototype P.08 in June 1979. I failed to get into the RAF due to an allergy to cats and aside from 15 years instructing in gliders and about 150h on SSEP a few years ago i'm not involved in aviation. The Tornado has always been part of my life and I'd wanted to see her fly one last time but the past few months at work has been 7d/w and at least 15h/d, so i've missed pretty much everything going on in life. I think I missed the last flight a few days ago from skimming this thread but if anyone knows differently then please let me know as I'd dearly love to see one fly to say goodbye.

Kind regards
Jim
