Museum Tornados

I posted this in the Modern form, but I thought I’d give the Historic forum a shot:

In terms of preserved/museum Tornados, I have listed:

XX946/WT P02 RAF Museum, Cosford – 8883M
XX947 P03 Transair shop, Shoreham Airport – 8797M
XX948 P06 Preserved Hermeskeil, Germany – 8879M
XZ630 P12 Preserved Halton – 8976M
XZ631 P15 Yorkshire Air Museum, Elvington (GR4) (front section)
ZA254 GIA, Coningsby (not preserved) – 9253M
ZA267 GIA, Marham (not preserved) – 9253M
ZA319 Gate guard, Bicester, D&D centre, Bicester, Oxfordshire
ZA354 Yorkshire Air Museum, Elvington (front section only)
ZA374/CN USAF Museum, Dayton, USA
ZA407 Gate guard, Marham – 9336M
ZA457/AJ-J RAF Museum, Hendon
ZA465/FF Imperial War Museum, Duxford
ZA475 Gate guard, Lossiemouth

ZE760 To/ex AMI MM7206, RAF Coningsby
ZE836 To AMI as MM7210, Preserved Gioia del Colle
ZE934 Museum of Flight, East Fortune, East Lothian

Am I missing any? Any German AF examples out there?

Thanks.

As i understand however there are plans afoot to replace the engines.

ZA319, Gate guard, DSDA (Defence Storage & Distribution Agency) headquarters, Bicester, Oxfordshire

At risk of being pedantic, unless there are two round there, this aircraft is at Upper Murcott or Ambrosden, a couple of miles south of Bicester. I’m sorry to be vague but I only ever pass it when I’ve missed the right turning!

See this old thread 🙂

Hi,

Just for clarification both tornados at elvington are now fully complete and assembled, indeed they are both in the hangar nice and dry!

Ollie

Looking at the photo link on this page, you can see that neither aircraft has engines fitted, so are not “fully complete”. Apologies if these have since been added.

Not being too picky but the Tornado at Bicester is outside the DSDA headquarters – Defence Storage & Distribution Agency (well that’s what it was called) not D&D.
It also has no seats in it…
It is part of a tri service gate guard including a light armoured vehicle of some sort and a smallish naval gun system – neither being a strong point of recognition for me…
There is also a pub opposite 🙂

Hello All

I though we established on a previous thread on the subject, that XZ631 was never actually converted to a GR.4? and that it was used to test some bits, maybe?

I believe that some parts (the undercarriage, apparently) were non standard GR.1 production fit. So that if it broke, due to it being one of the oldest flyers remaining it would have deemed it unrepairable :confused:

The two Tornados at Elvington are complete aircraft (Not front sections)although dismantled. I saw them there next to each other at the beginning of August 2005.

I thought at least one of the Elvington Tornadoes were complete? Never seen them mentioned as front sections before

Edit – at least one of them is, the Gr.1

The photo for the Gr.4 is the same one though
