Royal Air Force Marham saw a historic event last week as four of its Tornado GR4 aircraft, alongside a fifth aircraft from RAF Lossiemouth, took part in a routine training sortie with a twist.

Yes what a great idea, and some lovely photos to boot. If the complete aircraft can’t be preserved at least make sure the amazing tail artwork does after all that effort!

Tornadoes are not a type I normally get too excited about, but Wow, these look fantastic. Will probably do wonders for the sale of Tornado model kits.
