Tornado GR1B 12 Sqn

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much Enzo

That was exactly what I was looking for.

I agree with you about the serials, the currant position laves a lot to be desired, in other words it's a pain in the ass!!!!

Once again

Thanks a Lot !!

Glad to have been of help.

The location of serials on the Tornado GRs was always a problem. Apparently the reasoning behind the placement under the flaps was that the fin got filthy because of the exhaust staining from the thrust reversers. That never seemed logical to me, because F3s have serials on the fin and the F3 squadrons just tend to clean their aircraft more often. Besides, the serials on Harriers were always getting covered by dirt from the exhaust nozzles - we used to have to clean them every month or so. There is no substitute for good aircraft husbandry...
