As I remember I 40 was the first Itallian Tornado on TTTE. There is a story that a pair of hands were painted on the inside of the airbrakes not long after it arrived so it could surrender properly!
I 40 also tipped up on it's tail after rolling back off the RHAG and after they stopped making an approach end RHAG engagement mandatory for a nose wheel steering warning which 99 times out of 100 was a faulty switch guess what I 40 did? Went off the runway as the nose wheel steering was faulty. I believe after it's return to Italy it crashed!
