What Aircraft Type is this can-opener?

Can anyone identify this aircraft which has given the VW van an open top?

It's a long time since I've been in that neck of the woods, m5dnd, but those trees don't look Omani to me, and neither does the grass, no matter how burnt dry it is.

And the wing looks a mite on the variable geometry side to me.

And it ain't a Jaguar undercarriage.

So I suspect it might be a Tornado.

OK.. Gets on hands a knees and grovels ....

Looking at the picture its remarkably similar to a series of the pictures that I mentioned but agree this is not the same as in my post work haze I had not noticed the grass. Also the hangers don't look right..

So will agree ... Tornado ..

Pick's one up from knees to wish all well..

Thumbs up

It *is* a Tornado, I've seen pics from other angles too, long ago.

The Jaguar people are referring to *was* in Oman but it took the roof off a car (sedan, what i think the Yanks call) and not a van as in this pic.

Plus the drop tank is striped in a manner that makes me believe I saw the pics on the 321 Tigers's site - a Luftwaffe Tornado ECR squadron.
