Never had a NHC with that many buttons on a real Tornado so it must be from an F3!
Yep that’s right, it was developed for the ADV stage 2 weapons system enhancement in 1988.
GR4s have a hand controller like that now.
Right again, tried to get MOD to install it on MLU back then but they waited 20 years until they could nick them out of ADVs.
Looks like a German IDS
Wrong, an Italian, they forked out for brand new INHCs for their upgrade.
