A Saudi Tornado!

[nev]

Heard the noise of fast, low jet engines, dashed to the window just in time to see a Tonka zooming past at about 100ft, in a lovely Saudi desert camo!

 

Now, there is one you don't see everyday.  No pics, it was here and gone in the time it would take my camera to turn itself on

and the original UK serials are reapplied and vestigal UK national markings also, whilst
on transit to the UK and their return to saudi, btw.

Wow....what a treat, Nev ! I saw them in a mag, loaded with Storm Shadow. Wicked !

I was lucky enough to see a few when I was in Lewis back in 98 or 99. One was an F.3 waaaaay up in the sky, the other blasted by at about 100ft. past the lovely wife's Uncle's place, near the airport. Must've been doing an overshoot.

Look a little like this?



It would be in the UK as part of the Tornado Sustainment Program (see TSP on fin).

Well, I coulda sworn I saw Saudi markings, but it could just have been the green TSP badge on the fin
