Farewell Tonkas
I was very fortunate to attend the final Tornado Enthusiasts day last Friday at RAF Marham. The weather was poor, so flying shots were challenging, but have added a few pics from the day. Quite sad saying goodbye to the Tonka, F35s just don't have the same appeal.
The Tornado's bow out tomorrow with a final flight in the afternoon. Alli |

Makes you feel old- aircraft and bases you served at become no more. Duke my avatar and I walked the squadron areas and taxi ways at RAF Laarbruch '85-'88. 15, 16 and 20 Sqn. Regards, Paul.

You've got a good eye Alli! I particularly like the 3rd photo. Thanks for sharing,

We had some RE stay in our barrack block one year and while having a drink with them one tried to eat one of my slippers (Trendy!)- If I remember he had a prosthetic foot- not common back then. Usual problems were between RE and RAF Regt. in the Malcom Club. Regards, Paul.
PS Laarbruch now Weeze Airport but much of it still unaltered looking on Google. Image search shows much of it unused/abandoned. Last edited by wardog; 14-03-19 at 12:39 AM. |
