Pappy Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Questions for the tornado 'experten', 1. What were the RAF (BSC) wraparound scheme colours? I think that is was basically RAF dark green and dark sea grey but beyond that would not have a clue wrt the BSC381c no's 2. In the Walkaround section, in the walkaround for the GR.4 ZD843, Operational, Kandehar, Afghanistan I can see what looks like two joystics, one on each side of the inner canopy frame for the rear cockpit occupant which I have not seen before, what is the purpose of these and was this a standard fit to GR.4s later on in their service life? 3. Same walkaround, inside the forward canopy section just above the air con ducting there is an inverted 'V' shape with what looks like some form of sensor attached, again what is this and was this standard? cheers, Pappy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troffa Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Nice spot on the canopy mounted 'joysticks', I have never seen those before. Interested to hear their purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I guessed wrong about the 'joysticks'. Flare switches apparently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troffa Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 The F3 got chaff and flare buttons on grab bars fitted either side of the tv tabs. Dont fancy doing the wiring on the GR round the canopy hinge! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
