Tornado canopy off trial
GR4yskull
The following is from memory so take that at face value. I think this test flight was conducted in 1988 or thereabouts. It was the last flight, I believe, of a pre production a/c and attained a speed in excess of 600 kts. Somewhere I have a video of it and he's certainly going a at a fair rate at the end.
The camera ship was a Jaguar that had difficulty keeping up with the Tornado without resorting to reheat leading to some colourful language from the Jag pilot regarding his fuel state!

ps re the noise levels it was impossible for Keith Hartley to hear any R/T at the higher speeds although interestingly his transmissions were still intelligible.
