Apologies if this is already very well known but 2 tornado aircraft (static only of course) are preserved at the Yorkshire Air Museum. The latter, Tornado XZ631, which arrived at Elvington on 22 March 2005, according to the official website, first flew on 24 November 1978 as pre-series aircraft P15 and was the prototype for the conversion work to GR.4 standard carried out by British Aerospace at Warton, Lancashire. The Yorkshire Air Museum is the first independent museum in the United Kingdom to acquire a Tornado, and is the first museum in the country to display the current front-line GR.4 version. Of course, if you want a brand new, really low hours, still in its grey undercoat tornado which is currently undergoing testing (60 mph so far) then this is the one for you.
The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust

Oh yes! Topcoat and nameplates with RAF Leeming badge still to be applied.
