Ministry of Defence | Defence News | Military Operations | RAF Tornados clock up 7,000 flying hours over Libya (http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/DefenceNews/MilitaryOperations/RafTornadosClockUp7000FlyingHoursOverLibya.htm)

Does this mean a replacement for the GR4 is going to become an unexpected imperative?:confused:

Operating from Gioia del Colle air base in southern Italy, the tempo of operations has been relentless, and IX (Bomber) Squadron has been at the forefront of the mission.

Nice to see a mention for 1X (Bomber) Squadron, IIRC they chickened out of the Falklands war by getting themselves disbanded.:E
