“How good was the viz from the Tornado? How come it flew into the Cessna?”

The pilot and the Instructor had banked Tornado to admire a red telephone box when they tripped over the 152, which was circling and taking pictures. The angle the Tornado hit the 152 made it impossible for the pilot to have seen the Tornado, even if he had been looking. In a DA40 / Cirrus / low wing VLA etc you would not have had the blind spot, which was pointed out at the time.
