This is from the RAF FTRS vacncies website

A vacancy has arisen for a Group Captain (Engineer (AS)) to serve as the Tornado Transition Manager (TTM) at Cromwell House, London on Full Time Reserve Service (LC) Terms and Conditions of Service (TCoS).

As Gp Capt TTM you will be responsible for leading a transition team to develop and implement a programme within MODSAP to support the continued operation of the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) Tornado Force until 2030. Proposals will take into account requirements by BAES, the RSAF and NETMA and the extant requirements for services and SQEP support with drawdown of the RAF Tornado Force.
So the Saudis will be flying the Tonka until 2030 - 56 years after it first flew in 1974. Not bad for 'Mother Riley's Cardboard Aircraft' (MRCA)
