Firebird

Royal Air Force Panavia Tornado F.3 ZE258/AQ from No.56 'Firebirds' Squadron, on the flight-line as the solo display machine at a very wet RAF Mildenhall 'Air Fete' - 28th May 2000.

 

The F.3 was the designated AIr Defence Version of the standard Ground Attack Tornado. Quite a different airframe with a fuselage extension plug, a different nose profile and radar making look far sleeker than the GR's. All now replaced by the Eurofighter Typhoon.
