Chris

My bad ollie! I see what you mean now! I’m sure that there must be a few dead 199’s kicking around somewhere! Are you ollie of lusty lindy by chance?

Sorry bout that,

by fully complete, i meant have been put together!

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!

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.

Thanks for the corrections/updates:

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 🙂

Incomplete one at Inverness Highland air museum,about 80 percent external.

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

Thanks.

This aircraft is preserved at the Gatow museum:

Just a quick bump; any others to add?

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
