Back to the Southend Airport Day 29th May 2005, this was Tornado F.3 ZE16 as 56 Sqn 'WA' on the ground, I love the air crew's gear hanging off the missile rails.
Taxying out to take off to display over the gloomy Southend sea front in May 2005 this was 'Hotel Charlie' being a Tornado F.3 ZE736 marked as 111 Squadron 'HC', she has since been scrapped. I am pretty sure she was being operated by 56 (R) Squadron.
RAF 56 (R) Squadron's 'Whisky Alpha' receiving attention at Southend on a very gloomy 29th May 2005. As it turned out she did not fly this day but I like photos which include ground crews hence this one.
