The Tornado F2 had a troubled introduction to service. Unwanted by its crews and procured as a political imperative, it was blighted by failures in the acquisition system. It was adapted from a multi-national design, planned by committee, and developed to counter a threat which disappeared. Modified rapidly before it could be sent to war, the Tornado F3 eventually matured into a capable weapons system, but despite datalinks and new air-to-air weapons, its poor reputation sealed its fate. David Gledhill, a former Tornado F3 navigator, tells the story from an insider’s perspective of the early days as one of the first instructors on the Operational Conversion Unit, through the aircraft’s development and operational testing, to its demise. He reflects on the aircraft’s capabilities and deficiencies, and analyses why it was mostly under-estimated by opponents. Although many books have already described the Tornado F3 in detail, Gledhill’s involvement in its development provides a unique insight into this complex and misunderstood aircraft programme, dispelling some of the myths that have dogged its reputation for decades. This is Gledhill’s third book, and like the others, it captures the story in pictures taken in the cockpit and around the squadron. Illustrations: 123 b/w and 62 colour photographs

The variable-geometry Panavia Tornado is the result of a tri-national development programme between Britain, Germany and Italy, and has seen service during the Gulf War and the conflict over the Balkans. This volume tells the full story of the Tornado, which details the background and politics that led to the formation of Panavia; the development and testing of the aeroplane; and its subsequent service life in a variety of roles with its European and Saudi Arabian operators.

This volume has been prepared using technical and performance information direct from the manufacturers and operators documents. The Panavia Tornado ADV was adopted for the RAF to fight the predicted air battle over the North and Icelandic Seas. This could have involved large formations of Soviet long-range bombers, strike aircraft and maritime patrol aircraft, some of which would have been capable of releasing stand-off cruise missiles at distances of around 300-miles from the UK's shores. To meet this requirement the RAF did not require a small agile fighter, but rather a long-range interceptor, which would be capable of carrying a load of at least eight air-to-air missiles and be capable of detecting the enemy at long-ranges and intercepting them as far from the UK as possible. In the 1970's, a number of off-the shelf options were looked at. A two-crew aircraft better served the demanding mission for the air defence of the UK and it was eventually decided to pursue a European solution by adopting a variant of the Tornado strike aircraft then in development. The resultant Tornado F MK.2 and F Mk.3 was ideally suited to the long-range interception mission it was designed for. However, from the early 1990's, the aircraft was deployed on operations in a counter-air role; a mission for which it is less well suited, but could still accomplish more than competently despite ill informed reports to the contrary. The introduction of new weapons and systems introduced with the capability sustainment program introduced in the late 1990's along with other upgrade programs allowed the aircraft to remain a potent air defence aircraft until its retirement from RAF service in 2011. The book covers the genesis of the Tornado program and the emergence of the ADV fighter variant. The Tornado ADV is described in detail, as is its operational service with the RAF, Saudi Arabia and Italy. A chapter looks at the upgrades to mission systems and weapons including air to surface weapons allowing the Tornado ADV to remain at the cutting edge of air defence technology well into the 21st century. All technical information comes direct from official documents for example the passage on page 17 "The swept tail unit is of cantilever all-metal construction and comprises a single broad chord, swept twin spar vertical tail fin, with rudder mounting with low set all moving horizontal surfaces called tailerons." Has been reviewed by the manufacturer BAE Systems and passed as 100% factually correct.

The Tornado has been the backbone of the RAF within its many different theaters of operation. The aircraft started as a European venture between Germany, Italy and the UK, based on the original swing-wing technology invented by Barnes-Wallis. It has also been successfully exported to several Middle-Eastern air forces. It is likely to remain in service for several years to come.This book contains the world famous color profiles created by Dave Windle of the type in different operational modes, configurations and color schemes. Martin Bowman has written detailed descriptions and photographs to create the perfect enthusiasts reference.

The small group of enthusiasts and photographers who had braved the winter weather and gathered on the slopes of the Lake District’s iconic valleys on Wednesday, 9 January 2019, were witnesses to the end of an era. The RAF Tornado GR.4 that raced past them, in some cases at a lower altitude than the onlookers, made the last ever low-level flight by this aircraft in the United Kingdom Low Flying System. Never again would the ‘Mighty Fin’, an aircraft that had been a familiar sight among the valleys of the UK for around forty years, provide such a spectacle. First flown in August 1974, the Tornado arguably become of the RAF’s most important aircraft of the Cold War. Indeed, the Tornado was the mainstay of RAF strike aircraft, from its early days as a nuclear capable low-level interdiction strike fighter (the GR.1 in RAF service), through to its retirement as a more versatile medium to high-level strike fighter, the GR.4. Along with the shorter-lived Air defense Variant, the F.2/F.3, the Tornado was without doubt one of the best loved aircraft types amongst photographers and crews with the sheer number of the initial GR.1s allowing them to populate eleven front-line squadrons as well as the training units of the Tri-National Tornado Training Establishment and the Tornado Weapons Unit. Altogether, over twenty units flew variants of the type in the RAF alone. The Tri-National Tornado Training Establishment also catered for the other partner nations of Germany and Italy with all crews finding their way into the United Kingdom Low Flying System on a regular basis. It was, in fact, the impending introduction of the Tornado and the resulting increase in low-level activity that forced a restructuring of the UKLFS in 1979. In this book, Scott Rathbone provides a pictorial record of the Tornado in its element, that of low-level. With images dating back to the 1980s, almost all variants are accounted for, as are the majority of RAF squadrons and units from other nations’ air arms. color is in abundance, with various camouflage patterns and special schemes as seen and photographed in the UKLFS and elsewhere, including the United States of America, over four decades. This, then, is a unique tribute to a remarkable aircraft.
