If you mean Tornado, just say Tornado.
Why do ppruners talk in this manner? It's something I've noticed a lot - 'the sand box' instead of Afghanistan, referring to airports by their four letter ICAO designator rather than just saying Heathrow or wherever, or saying 'those windswept islands in the SA just off Argentina' when you mean the Falklands etc.
Being cryptic doesn't make you clever, just an annoying knob.
