nigelshipp Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 In 1998 5 squadron painted up a F3 for its 85th anniversary. ZE791 had a large Maple leaf and a 5 on its tail Does anyone have a picture of this machines tail In addition if anyone has a decent tail shot of ZH555 in the later anniversary markings this also would be appreciated Regards Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troffa Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) Seems like a fairly elusive scheme! All I've found are two shots of ZE791 on this page: https://www.masm.fr/galleryUKTornado.htm And a small picture of ZH555's tail on this page- the upper image of the Jet is clickable to a larger Image. http://www.airsceneuk.org.uk/hangar/2002/rafsqns/sqns.htm Hope they help!

nigelshipp Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) Excellent, many thanks I'm going to have a go at home printing. 555's scheme looks easy enough to homeprint but I think it going to take photoshop and I a while to master 791 but I'm going to have a go anyway Cheers Nigel Edited April 16, 2017 by nigelshipp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troffa Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Glad to be of help! What are the red letters in the earlier scheme? They look like "CV" or "CD" to my aged eye, either Charlie Victor for the tail code or CD for Canadian? I'm more familiar with the "Army Co-operation" AC designation for 5 Sqn. Good luck with the decals. Regards, Troff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armadillos Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 If you can lay your hands on the squadron prints Tornado F3 book it`s quite handy, on page 182 theres a small pic of ZE791 in the scheme you`re asking about and bit further in are a few colour profiles of different schemes. Another useful book but sadly no pics of what you`re after is Peter Foster`s Tornado ADV Tonka book on Amazon if nothing else it gives a pretty comprehensive history of every F2/F3 airframe upto just prior to out of service.

nigelshipp Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 Thanks for the book links, the Foster book confirmed the vague lettering on the design Troff, checked the Peter Foster book and its allocated letters were CD. It arrived on 5 in March 98 was painted in June 98 and went to 111 in Nov 98, so a short life on 5 Cheers Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
