Camo Tornado GR1/1A's, scans from slides. (Biiiig post)

With the imminent end of the Tornado in RAF service, I thought I'd dig the slides out and scan the camo GR1/1A's. Sorry about the quality of some of the scans, it took me a while to work out the settings on the scanner. A bit self indulgent, as there are over 100 slides, but I hope you like at least some of them, and a trip down memory lane for the older farts amongst us. Most of the on airfield ground shots were at Lossie in 84/85 while I was based there.

(My apologies, I appear to have got some of the reggies wrong in some of the pics, I've added a note above the relevant pics, as it isn't easy to go back in and amend the pics themselves).

And finally, my all time favourite shot of a Tornado taken by me, this one over St Mary's Loch, circa 91/92.

Great stuff Danny :clap: :thumbs:
I wish I had seen some of these through the valley but it was well before my plane spotting days.

Cheers,
Walter

Superb, esp that last one. Would you like to add ZA613 to my post on Display Tornados as it's the one special scheme that's missing?
