Corporate Tornado

Interestingly enough the Tornado option was examined. The aircraft was not in squadron service (or barely was - I cannot remember), but the intention appeared to be that if the evaluation showed clear advantage to be gained through its employment then it might be made available. The evaluation consisted of a Tornado nav being briefed on the possible missions and then closeting himself with a set of maps and the ODMs. After a suitable period he emerged and said "Not really the Tornado's sort of war" or words to that effect. I think we knew that before he started, but it put the matter to bed.
