Royal Air Force Panavia Tornado F.3 ZG774/WK from No.56 Squadron 'The Firebirds' taxies out from the flight line to begin the solo flight demonstration at the 'Air Day' RNAS Culdrose
20th July 2005
The 'Air Day' held at the Naval Air Station at Culdrose in Cornwall has always been unique as it is held mid-week during the summertime with the aim of attracting the holiday crowds! As can be seen the weather was idyllic and this specially marked 'bird' did not disappoint us with it's fast, furious and loud display!
Conceived as the MRCA (Multi-Role Combat Aircraft), the 'swing-wing' Tornado design was uniquely adapted as the F.2 & F.3 versions for the RAF as a replacement for our BAC Lightning interceptor.
The other programme partners Germany and Italy stayed with the standard ground attack version and acquired Phantoms and Starfighters respectively for interceptor roles until the advent of the Eurofighter Typhoon. However Italy did take some of our F.3's on loan as a stop gap measure until the Typhoon arrived.
Sadly, now that the latter machine is in service, all the Tornado F.3's no longer fly!

With DVLA taking its nightly break, again I can't find out when this was imported. Always liked Firebirds, mainly due to The Rockford Files...

The Firebird line went on sale in mid-1963 with four models distinguished by pickup and tailpiece configurations (see below). Unlike the Les Paul and SG line, which used the terms "Junior", "Special", "Standard" and "Custom", the Firebird used the Roman numerals "I", "III" , "V" and "VII". Gibson's line of Thunderbird basses is rooted in the design of the Firebird, and uses even Roman numerals ("II" and "IV") to distinguish it. From 1965 to 1969, Gibson introduced "non-reverse" models after failing to achieve marketing success with the unusual reverse-body design. Gibson had also received complaints from Fender that the Firebird headstock mirrored the Stratocaster and that the body violated Fender's design patents, with Fender threatening a lawsuit. The "non-reverse" body is a more standard double-cutaway design, with the bass horn being longer than the treble horn and the headstock having the tuners mounted on the bass side. It also had a standard glued-in ("set") neck rather than neck-through construction, as well as other, less noticeable changes in design and build. Pickup and tailpiece configuration for the V and VII were the same as the earlier "reverse" models, although the I- and III-models were now shipped with two or three P-90 pickups and plain vibratos. After a few years of disappointing sales, the "non-reverse" line was dropped. "Reverse" body Firebirds were first reissued in 1972, with a commemorative "Bicentennial" model (black, with gold-plated hardware and a red-white-blue logo on the white pickguard) released in 1976.
