A fully armed XX947 Panavia MRCA Tornado prototype streaks by at the Farnborough Airshow in 1980 by Heathrow Junkie Via Flickr: The Military Collection - Fighters From a collection of some 430 Military slides that I've had scanned from my archives. Hope they will provide some enjoyment and nostalgia from a bygone age. A lively shot of Panavia MRCA Tornado prototype XX947 seen here in action at the Farnborough Airshow in 1980. The angle makes the aircraft look pretty aggressive. XX947 c/n P.03 was the second of four prototype Panavia MRCA Tornados used for testing and development. The other three were XX946, XX948 and XX950. RAF Panavia Tornado - nicknamed the "Tonka" by the British, their first prototype (XX946) made its maiden flight on 30 October 1974 from BAC Warton. The first full production Tornado GR1 (ZA319) flew on 10 July 1979 from Warton. The first RAF Tornados (ZA320 and ZA322) were delivered to the TTTE at RAF Cottesmore on 1 July 1980. Crew that qualified from the TTTE went onto the Tornado Weapons Conversion Unit (TWCU), which formed on 1 August 1981 at RAF Honington, before being posted to a front-line squadron. No. IX (B) Squadron became the first front-line squadron in the world to operate the Tornado when it reformed on 1 June 1982, having received its first Tornado GR1 ZA586 on 6 January 1982. No. IX (B) Squadron was declared strike combat ready to the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) in January 1983. Two more squadrons were formed at RAF Marham in 1983 - No. 617 Squadron on 1 January and No. 27 Squadron on 12 August. To celebrate 40 years of service and to mark the type's retirement, several flypasts were carried out on 19, 20 and 21 February 2019 over locations such as BAE Warton, RAF Honington and RAF Lossiemouth. On 28 February, nine Tornados flew out of RAF Marham for a diamond nine formation flypast over a graduation parade at RAF Cranwell before returning and carrying out a series of passes over RAF Marham. On 14 March 2019 the final flight of an RAF Tornado was carried out by Tornado GR4 ZA463, the oldest remaining Tornado, over RAF Marham during the disbandment parade of No. IX (B) Squadron and No. 31 Squadron. The Tornado GR4 was officially retired from RAF service on 1 April 2019, the 101st anniversary of the force. Post-retirement, five Tornados returned to RAF Honington via road for the Complex Air Ground Environment (CAGE), which simulates a Tornado flight line for training purposes. More on the Panavia Tornado here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panavia_Tornado Taken with a Soviet made Zenith E camera and 300mm lens. Some of the usual "Zenith Effects" that were common with the early model Zenit E cameras :) You can see a random selection of my aviation memories here: www.flickriver.com/photos/heathrowjunkie/random/

A cutaway of a Tornado from, er, Tornado No. 13, 16 June 1979. Invaluable if you've dismantled your Tornado and are really struggling to put it back together.
