Air Forces Monthly: Is the Tornado Up to it?

[Once A Brat]

I'm not sure but.....................

................I'm fairly certain that when I was at the home of the Norfolk Land Shark circa 03/04 that one of the Squadrons (IX) had a dark blue stick monkey!!

Thought that with common training that it was now best pilot for the type rather due to the cut of your cloth.........I also seem to recall a Capt (No, not a yank either) pilot on JFH but there agin he may have been a bootie.....

Having experience of both ac types (from an EngO perspective) ...the Tonka will struggle in Herrick and will be a sucess, but only whilst its the will of the people (air and groundcrews) on the force to make it so ...........just like the air and groundcrews made Harrier suceed.
