Yes, Tornado. And they're over Northumberland all the time!
Yep, 2 x 1500L tanks, but the fuselage hard points look empty - no CBLS I'm afraid. The pods on the out board pylons might be Boz pods, but that is a guess.

Looking at the full size image on the OP's flickr site, it appears that your guess is correct.

1 Boz pod (chaff/flare) on the R/H wing, 1 ECM pod on the L/H wing. The Boz pod has a long pointy nose with horizontal stabilizers at the rear and a flat rear end. ECM pod has the same blunter nose cone front and rear with diagonal stabilizers at the rear of the pod.
1500L tanks as these only have 2 rear fins, both pointing downwards at 45' versus the larger 2250L tanks that have 4 tail fins and are obviously a bit bigger in size.
Inside of the inboard wing pylons, theres an empty launcher which can take Side Winder missiles. There may be a training missile fitted to the L/H side but it's hiding above the fuel tank. This is effectively the seaker head of a missile, attached to a metal drain pipe.
Fuselage pylons are all empty, but could take a variety of stores from CBLS pods and practice bombs (which are the norm for training sorties) through to Storm Shadow missiles or TIALD pod and Paveway II bombs
