Just saw a Tornado go screaming overhead

[anonymous-user]

Over BH12 area very low, we don't have any Tornado's down here do we? Thought they were all in Scotland?

Any ideas?

Tornados are allowed to fly all over the place!

[Tony1963]

Edit to add. No Tornados in Scotland now. Only at Marham.

I was staying on a campsite near Goring on Sea a few years ago and a Tornado, at very low level, shot across the site heading out over the Channel.

One very low over here (North Wales) on a Monday night a few weeks ago.

This one was heading South over the channel, looked loaded too, hence why I asked, where are they based?

[Eric Mc]

Marham Lincs.

There might be a couple operating out of Boscombe Down Wilts on trials.

Caught a glimpse of it over Poole Harbour today. Wondered if it took off from Bournemouth Airport?

None at Boscombe, all the survivors are at Marham (yes, Norfolk!).

[Tony1963]

And 41sqn at Coningsby, Lincolnshire (north of Portsmouth).

[frodo_monkey]

Nope, the Tornado bit of 41 disbanded quietly last year.

[Ian Lancs]

There's 2 RSAF Tornado at Warton - 1 flying, 1 not.

Well I thought I’d seen that but then the 41sqn twitter keeps popping up photos. Had another look and it’s just no ones bothered removing the markings!

Marham is about 200 miles away. That’s about 12 minutes if “making progress”...

Much as I like my old office, you’re over-egging it somewhat there! Legally and “not throwing all the gas out the back” you’d probably not want to go above 500kts... still only 24mins ish though 😎
