It is a Tornado - the bomber version with those hard points - so a GR4 I guess.

Yes, notice the reverser gear on either side of the nozzles, the design of which is also indicative of afterburner [reheat].

Pleased to help: If it is any help you 'doubled up' on the [IMG] tags somehow which is why they 'appear'. If you edit you will see.

Looking through my Pics (yes, I've only just finished sorting through them) I think it may have been this German Tornado.
It's the only one I took with a centreline pod attached.
