A "tog" is a plane spotter. The people who's photographs have helped immortalize this iconic jet.
The Tonka's painted up especially for the disbandment didn't go through the loop, as there has been a ban on low level sorties through there since last year. Hence there are no decent pics of them doing what they do best

That is until a very senior officer banned TGRF from low-level completely in January, hence why the camo jet never went LL in that scheme.
Jerry,
I fail to see the rationale for GR4s going to Boscombe unless there a very specific reason for a trial (possibly weapons/sensor related); AFAIK it could be operated under a QARL with BAES support, but there would need to be some very big cheques signed! QQ have been brutal in chopping their ex-military fleet to save money, and to rationalise their aircraft as civil-registered wherever possible.

I would say the chances of a GR4 flying at Boscombe is a choice between "not a cat in hell's chance" and "absolutely not a cat in hell's chance"!
