Advo.
Before you go wagging your fingers around and slagging people off I wonder if you have checked out the video. If so, you would have seen that the jets we were in were clean (and it was also pretty cold on Friday morning) and whilst I agree that Tornado take offs are always with reheat (for all the reasons discussed), I believe we probably could have got airborne without it.
However, the reason for me posting the thread was not to invoke a discussion on the merits of the ODM or the servicability of the Tornado reheat and whether it can or can't get airborne on 9000+ feet of runway. It was to pass on my thanks to the people at UGSAS who hosted us so well and to the junior crew who organised the night out and who gave an excellent presentation.
Negative comments and finger gestures directed towards people who are trying to use PPRuNe in a positive way is what gives this site such a bad reputation. Next time why not email the person directly or alternatively, keep your comments to yourself.
