Question about Tornado GR1.
Did the GR1 really carry a pair of Sidewinders and a pair of internal 27mm cannons?
Were the crews of a Tornado GR1 both ground attack trained and "fighter" pilots?
I would assume if they were carrying sidewinders they would at least know some basic air to air combat stuff.
Was a GR1 a "fighter/bomber" or to be more accurate given the armement "a bomber that could fight its way in and out"
I realise later Tornados became more specialised.
Thanks.
