Could be wrong though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestong loadout! We are definitely in need of more in theater early war load-out photos.... Was Storm Shadow also combined with Alarm? Or Raptor missions? The EPWII was used as the weapon of choice for pretty everything until the PWIV and Brimstone were awailable several years later, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boman Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 According to Deagel.com, the Tornado could carry up to 7 ALARM's; 3 under the belly and 2 under each wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intetesting! Space wise it lookslike up to 3 would fit under a wing....pylon directly and both shoulders.... or 2 and a tank... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boman Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Nice! Would have thought that the inner wingpylon would be crammed against the fuselage when the wings sweep, but apparently not. Wether 7 or 9, it is a hefty load for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hindenburger tanks can also not be used with full wing sweep.... so that is not a reason against loading them there... or maybe the different adaptor angles care for exactly that!

Robertone139 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Anyone has a few 1/72 spare ones? 9 ALARMs (or even "just" 7 with tanks) vs only 4 HARMs, the choice is simple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xvtonker Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I was one of a group of six people who were sent from XV Sqn and station at RAF Laarbruch to BAC Stevenage in 1990 to do a crash course on programming the ALARM missile prior to it being deployed to the Gulf. We then travelled to Warton to be trained on the loading of the missiles onto the GR.1 Tornado on centreline & shoulder pylons plus the three in-board wing pylon stations. Upon our return to Laarbruch we then trained the personnel on 20 Sqn who then deployed their aircraft and ALARM's to Tabuk. XVTonker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen that one and it does show a difference in the inner wing shoulder pylons, but not a lot of detail on the inboard one. Tricky to get a decent photo of it with it being tucked away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
