Mount Pleasant was, until recently, equipped with only four ageing and ineffective Tornados – the same attack aircraft that have made such heavy weather recently of providing air support in Libya.
Aircraft identification seems not to be a naval strongpoint. Or perhaps it's Admiral Woodward's script writer that needs to hone up those skills. Even I, as a lowly ground-hugger, knew the difference between the two.. A good job perhaps as I looked after the bits (those that were available). An F3 radome on a GR4 would not have been a good fit.


Edited to add: buggah! BEagle beat me to it
