Post Tornado GR1 question?

Hi All

Just out of curiosity after reading 'Team Tornado' and 'Tornado Down' I have a few questions about the GR1.

First, what is its range on internal fuel? As in with no EFTs? With four it can do 2,417, but what about if it was flying 'without bags?'

The second is, how fast could it really go? I have searched around and heard it can do 920 at sea level, but what about 'clean' at altitude? Some sources have stated 1700+ mph, is this true?!

And finally, is it equipped with just a Terrain Following Radar, or can the radar also detect enemy aircraft?

Regards,
Jack
