Rob de Bie Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 There have been threads in the past (for example 1 and 2) that contain a lot of useful information. What are you building? Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

markmarples Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 The photo's here are of the first operational use on Telic 1.Merv as a matter of intrest do you know what sqn it was? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Will2K65 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 The Tornado's deployed for Operation Telic operated as an air expeditionary wing - aircraft and crews were drawn from all of the RAFs front line squadrons. 617 Squadron (the famed Dambusters) based at RAF Lossiemouth are presently the RAF's 'lead' squadron for Storm Shadow and worked hard in the run up to the Iraq war to ensure its use was a success, but during operations itself one can't really pinpoint a particular squadron alone due to this wing structure which meant a shared effort all round.

Will2K65 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Although the jets were pooled, it is possible to identify which squadrons the jet was originally drawn from, by looking at the tailcode at the fin top. Despite the overall ARTF camo and lack of unit markings, the tailcodes that were painted over this remained the same as before the war... for example (here x would be a unique letter but following the following formats) AJ-x = 617 squadron Bx = 14 squadron Fx = 12 squadron 2 and 13 squadrons have a single letter tailcode (and 13 sometimes has XIII on the fin of its OCs own jet!). 31 squadron has Dx. Not sure on 9 squadron, it will come to me eventually! Most jets these days have the 001-142 range of numerical codes which signify their build order of those jets which were upgraded to GR4 status :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markmarples Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 i think 9sqn is A (then the airframe prexif letter ) so Ax that makes spike7451's picture a 9 sqn machine i think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spike7451 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 (edited) i think 9sqn is A (then the airframe prexif letter ) so Ax that makes spike7451's picture a 9 sqn machine i think? I believe that the GB on the right is/was OC 9 Sqn. I have a thread on the Tornado HERE Edited May 1, 2009 by spike7451 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markmarples Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 thanks spike, cracking photos i may have to re think and opt ofr a 9 sqn machine from telic with storm shaddow? far to many decisions to make at this time of night!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReiRei0 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I think this is now officially the thread that differentiates the forum's thirtysomething Americans from everybody else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
