That'll be Flt Lt Ollie Suckling. Current Tornado driver on 31 Sqn, member of the Buccaneer Aviation Group, part of the Jet Provost display team and occasional greasemonkey with the restoration of ZA326.
Would be great to see everyone at the open day at the end of the month - weather permitting we'll have the cockpits of Tornado GR.1P ZA326 opened up and available to sit in.
