My experience of Tornado is, the now museum piece, Tornado F3. However, I do remember watching (Fred Grundy IIRC) getting airborne with winders and skyslugs at about 1200kgs (rule of thumb 100kgs for winders and 200kgs for slugs) and about 1/2 fuel. He certainly used less than 4,000ft to get off and with his pre-armed thrust reverse landing (PATRL) with brakes pre- applied (which Tornado was designed for) he used less than 2,000ft in the landing roll.
The secondary at RAF Leuchars is about 4800ft and we would plan to use that during the Cold War - a PHAG in the middle and overuns helps de-risk significantly!
So my claims don't sound too outrageous in my previous post to me...
