Viggen 644 Posted March 18, 2011 http://www.thecourier.co.uk/News/Fife/article/11976/raf-leuchars-saying-farewell-treble-one-s-tornado-f3s.html So ends one era with the retirement of the last F3s from RAF service. And so ends another with the disbandment of 111(F) Squadron, after 94 years of service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MigBuster 2,884 Posted March 19, 2011 Thanks for the link - the Tornado F.3 was one of NATOs best interceptors of the cold war IMO - not my type of fighter but great in its role. Sad to see it go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast 153 Posted March 19, 2011 Well I was lucky to work with these in my first year in the RAF and also to get a ride in one years back... for what it was designed for it wasn't a bad plane... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derk 265 Posted March 20, 2011 Liked the F3 very well :good:from the day I saw a very early F2 demonstrated at the International Ait Tattoo at Greenham Commons back in the '70 's , and we really have a worthy flying souvenir here at SF thanks to Bobrock......
