Sad to see, they served well but not as iconic as the Hunter or Lightening.

A good aircraft, and I like looking at the two at Duxford, but I've never really had much interest in it. Still, they provided sterling service, and I think us taxpayers got value for money over the years.

I've always like the Tornado. Thought it looked like it means business.

When it was called the MRCA it was called by some I understand the Much Refurbished Canberra Again

I thought it was "Must Replace Canberra Again" (attempt #1 being the TSR.2) or "Mother Riley's Cardboard Aeroplane" (a reference to its intention of being multi-rôle aircraft, something which turned out to be harder to achieve than thought)

I knew it was something like that. So was it that good?
