Hendon to get a Tonka?

Does anyone know if Hendon is getting a new Tornado? If so what will happen to the one already on display?

I would not think they would want a newer one as they have had 2 at Hendon already one being a prototype (P02 XX946 now rightly at Cosford) and the one on display at the moment (GR.1B ZA457) is a 617 squadron machine with commemerative dambusters markings.

Maybe they would preserve a F.3 as they dont have one in their collection but maybe with the amount of types retiring or soon to retire they would not want another of a type they have 2 of already.
