Forres Gets its own Tornado....WHY?

Unveiled this week by the HIE and within the Forres Enterprise Park was a 1/10 scale bronze Tornado, the official reason being to commemorate the towns links with the RAF. A noble gesture I agree but at least if you are going to do something like this at least get it correct and display it properly

1st It should have been a Nimrod or something maritime, Forres has no links with a Tornado, that is Elgin,s and Lossiemouth,s honour
2nd The cost was £47,000 (yes thats correct) could well have been much better spent in the community
3rd At least make the thing accurately represent what its meant to represent

Look for yourself, but to me its looks like its got a GR4 tail and an F3 nose and a GR1 lower fuselage




Oh and finally, why hide it somewhere where its not going to be seen unless you know its there
