Photographed in the static display at IAT93 this Tornado is from 9 Squadron then based at RAF Bruggen. She is equipped with flight controls in the rear cockpit so therefore is a GR1T. Delivered to the RAF on the 18th December 1991 she suffered an accident in Oman on the 25th September 2002 when the nosewheel caught the arrester cable causing it to collapse causing CAT 4 damage. She was then placed into storage at RAF Shawbury.
