LFA14-T have been listening to these things thundering around day & night for more than 3 decades now (not complaining!), so it would have been nice... Guess from the bases & probable routing that we won't be seeing any in the Great Glen?

Anyway, any ex-GR mates as close to hand as Wittering will surely be saying farewell at one of the thrashes at Marham!

You and your colleagues can feel extremely proud of the work you have done to maintain serviceability of this fantastic aircraft.
I have a number of friends who worked long and hard on her.
It was as one always used to remind me 'an amazing piece of kit'.

Looking at the lists I reckon they have gone for sites with a past Tornado connection and joined those dots with overflights of non-Tornado but well-populated sites like Benson, Waddington and Shawbury. Doesn't seem like they're going out of their way for such 'extras' but that's understandable IMHO.

The students & cadets would love it too.

A couple of times have been leaked.
Tuesday: Cosford 13:29 and Valley 13:50.
Wednesday: Duxford 13:16
I am guessing at a 300kt transit (or there abouts) so Leeming / Linton area around 14:30 on Tuesday. Work out the rest yourselves as a rough guide. ;-)

It is a funny thing but just thinking of Tornado somehow made me feel safe.
It has been a truly outstanding aircraft and has given us all something to be proud of.

She certainly corrected first impressions. Originally Multi Role Combat Aircraft. Those of us of a certain age will remember, when the next delay was announced. "MRCA: Must Refurbish Canberras Again"
To Cosford tomorrow, to salute one of the best for a long time.
