If you want really big forward antennas then you can fit an assembly that completely replaces the original flap/nib structure, as per the Tornado ECR.
Where did you get that pic m8?
The Kreuger Flaps were disabled back in the late 80's and that looks like a more modern pic (grey colour scheme, LAU, dark grey pilot helmet). I flew with them during training and iirc, on my first tour; a lot of weight to reduce the approach speed by a few knots (can't remember the actual number, but 7 rings a bell).
Vendee, drop the anti-F3 thing m8. The F3 did what the GR4 has done...towards the end of its time, proved itself to be an outstanding package.
edit: a German Tornado? The navs helmet gives it away I think. I guess they still use the Kreugers.
