NutLoose, I guess you're right - if they haven't sold them for a long time, it probably made sense to tart them up. I'm surprised if the Tornado has been available for a long time as one would think it would have been snapped-up by a museum. It's not as if there are many F3s around. Perhaps it's the usual problem of regarding "contemporary" aircraft as insignificant, even though they obviously become historically significant many years later... and usually when they've all been scrapped! Same old story - if it had been a Spitfire it would have sold immediately, but a lowly Tornado gets overlooked
