Great set Niall,
6 & 15 for me,
these demonstrate the level of old school engineering (slide rules, pencils and a biological brain) used to build the Tonka,
able to withstand the forces exerted on the airframes during take off and landing...(no need for a parachute) but afterburners a must (yee ha)

The Typhoons show what computer engineering can conjure up.....

I totally agree with you regarding catching the Tornados before the are all but a distant memory (card) :(

Especially in the winter light with no haze....

hope to see you and the boys soon

Nice set Niall but no6 and the nightshots are best of the bunch for me,hopefully get up at some point next month to catch some 15 shot before its to late.

Great shots Niall, thanks for sharing. No 6 for me; any chance of a slightly tighter crop? :whistle:

Number 6 is a cracking picture, and in my view doesn't need a tighter crop, you have caught it beautifully!

Cracking set chap. No. 4 - a special tail ;) , No, 5 - a typical Lossie cloud and No. 10 - the line - all special pics in their own right.

I'm going with 5 & 6 as they really are the 'essence' of what we love about the Tornado.
Great images all of them, though!
