John's project concerns the first few nights of the air war. Pave Spike didn't arrive until the Buccs entered theatre on 26th Jan - and TIALD arrived on 6 Feb. Thus JN's project will probably focus on the time before PGMs were available, when only JPs, dumb bombs and ALARM were being used by the Tornados.

I was over at Tabuk on 19th Feb and was fortunate enough to see some TIALD imagery - an excellent piece of kit. The destruction of whatever had been in the Iraqi HAS which it had been designating was very impressive, causing a massive secondary. Unfortunately our evening mission was cancelled due to a Tornado unserviceability after we'd launched, so we flew back to KKIA instead.
