Hi all
Would anybody happen to have a clear picture of the port side of Tornado ZA587 with the operation Ellamy mission markings? I’ve found a few online but can’t quite make out what the markings are. Or is there another way I can find out missions flown during this operation?
Many thanks,
Darren

Don’t know how many there were but they were penned on with a permanent marker (which ran in the rain lol). They made a stencil for SS, Brimstone and PWIV. They even made a stencil for a Typhoon cockpit in the shape of ‘highlight’ which I destroyed when I gave permission to a pilot to throttle up on the EOR (it’s a long story).
The typhoon only carried EPWII and had nicely cut spandex stickers which Coningsby Paint Shops produced. The Silhouette used came from a presentation by TTF and a template used to position them in the same place every time on every aircraft.
