RIAT 2016

11/7/2016

 
Walk arounds of the four Tornados at RIAT 2016 have been added to the website. XV(R) Sqn were there for possibly the last time as the squadron is rumoured to disband in March as the out of service date for the Tornado approaches.
Picture

The Luftwaffe brought two Tornados, an ECR in 60th Anniversary special markings (somewhat muted in comparison to the Typhoon) and an ASSTA 3.0 IDS that was, interestingly still in the Norm  95 camouflage scheme.

Model Airplane International

9/7/2016

 
July's issue of Model Airplane international has a write up of the Sword and Lance show and three photographs of the Tornado SIG display.

​Next month's issue has a stunning looking build of Revell's 1/48 GR.4. One to look out for.
