Angels49 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I frequently use wikipedia for quick refs....not for firm 'ard intel, but this one has me shaking me 'ead...the bloke who wrote this doesn't know any better or doesn't care as long as the piccie is clear. I'm a diehard fan of the Goldstars...from a long time ago..and if it's one RAF Squadron markings I know it's them. So lads tell me why ikipedia would ID the aircraft in the link as a 15 Squadron aircraft when it clearly ISN'T. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panavia_Tornado#/media/File:Image_of_a_15_Squadron_GR4_taken_over_Royal_Air_Force_Lossiemouth,_and_surrounding_countryside._MOD_45155748.jpg It's just me, but I'd prefer they had two racks of Brimstones and one GBU....they'd have more ordy to work with.

Creepy Pete Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) Wikipedia doesn't ID it as a 15 Squadron Tornado, the UK's Ministry of Defence imagery website does. click me. Wikipedia simply uses that free to use pic to illustrate what a Tornado looks like. They can't change the name that comes with the photo. The person who picked that photo, did write 39 Squadron under it. Defence imagery websites have lots of errors like that.
