Pruners,
a couple of Saturday lunchtime cud-chewing questions...
how effective/usable would Tornado GR4 be in the Air Defence/Air Policing role with its normal fit of ASRAAM's, its Radar/Avionics, and as much external fuel as you could bolt onto it?
secondly, how effective/usable would Tornado GR4 be in the role of self-defending Tanker if you fitted it with a buddy refueling store and as much external fuel as you could get on? - and having only ever seen the Sargent-Fletcher buddy refuelling system as used by the Luftwaffe placed on the centreline station, is the centreline station the only one you could put such a store on?
cheers.
