Some snaps from yesterday
Twocanos
All the eights
A couple of coalburners, the camo one does make an unusual noise as it goes past, very different.
And my favourite
a Mildenhall F14 Eagle!

The Eagles were "playing" big time down low over ones estate yesters! But going to the pics of the Tonka's- maybe the pics have been flipped but the kit dangling off of the outer pylons seem to have been reversed.
My question is---- Can the Boz and Phimat pods be fitted to either outer pylon or do they have a dedicated "side"?
Just curious?

The general consensus is that the Tornado howl is being generated from the pod fitted on the port outboard pylon. The following video has the 'howl' from the 0:32 point.
I've also heard the howl from a 41 Squadron Tornado at RAF Coningsby. It would appear to be coming from the modified BOZ pod that now has some extra vents.
It is a pity that there is no role demo or GR4 available for the airshow season. That howl would be an added bonus! No doubt the Taliban and Al Qaeda will have been experiencing that howl at close quarters by now?

The "cammo" GR 4 is Warton's development cab, identified by the white "Tornado" flash on the forward fuselage and the red and blue "GR4" motif below the engine intake and on the fin, so it's more than likely to be seen with some not so conventional stores/role fits.
Some good pics there Jump; thanks

When GR4 deploys, hopefully that noise will inspire fear and dread in the minds of the stone age throw backs in black turbans.
The sound of their imminent obliteration.
