All I can tell you is 31 sqn was next to our compound on the North West side of the airfield and 20 Jaguar sqn was on the North East if memory serves. I can remember our sqn WO having a wager with the WO of 31 that we could get into their compound on a minival.( I was on the resident Regt sqn) which we did. It cost 31s WO a crate of beer.Happy days

From memory when I was there in 84/86 it was 14,17,20 and 31 Jaguar sqns. I seem to recall 20 moved to Laarbruch and converted to Tornado around June 84. Leaving 14,17 and 31 to convert to Tornado between 84-86. IX sqn moved to Bruggen after I left in 86. So : Jaguar 14 17 20 and 31 Tornado 14 17 31 and IX The old memory has faded a bit so happy to be corrected.

Thanks Nigel great gen. Already have after speaking to you recently when I bought those bol rails off you. Silly really I should have gone on there first.

Do you have any details on any of their aircraft? It's like hens teeth online.

Thanks Nigel. Spot on. Do you know if any of them flew storm shadow sorties? I've only seen mention of 9 IIAC and possibly 617 flying those but no airframe details.

Evening all, Can anyone shed any light on any squadron markings that may have been worn by the Tornados flying the initial strike missions from Marham ? In particular the 9 sqn Jets carrying out the first storm shadow strikes. I have the Osprey book by Robert Napier and the Haynes book which show a 31 sqn jet at Gioia del Colle and one unmarked from Marham but not a lot else online. Apart from 31 were any other sqns still wearing markings from Marham at that point?

Thankyou Selwyn much obliged.

Quick question. Were Vampire rockets only fitted in fours under each wing root or could they be fitted in pairs? . Can't seem to find anything outhere showing an 4 rocket fit only 8. Thanks in advance.😀

That ties in with the photos ive managed to find. Many thanks

Regarding tanks , pretty much every photo and profile I've managed to find shows them without. Strange.

Can anyone shed any light on the weapons carried by 1435s Tornado F3s in the late 90s?. What little I can glean online alludes to the fact that missiles carried were limited for various reasons. Fuel tanks don't seem to have been carried either. Does anyone know why? I believe that when the Tornados replaced the phantoms it was still a Skyfkash/AIM 9L fit ?

Yep. Silly. Just plain silly. Meh.

What did you order? Im after their 1/72 Rushton targets and am worried if it's not one of their more mainstream products I may be waiting months .

I had a look on Google and the answer lies there🤫

Can you post on here when/if they arrive?. There's some stuff on the website I'd like but I'm holding off after reading this thread.
