This is ZE204 Tornado F3 currently at NELSAM Sunderland. Its in a sorry state. I worked on this aircraft back in the early 90's when it was on XI (F) Sqn at RAF Leeming. It was DD.

@jpgreenwood - Have they moved it outside to make way for the Harrier? When I visited last year that's what I was told their plans were. I was hoping to visit again on Monday but ran out of time and am now back in Bristol so it'll have to wait a while.

It was moved outside so they could fit the 2250 underwing tanks. Also to make space for a scooter meet and concert they put on. I’m not sure if it’s going on the stand where the Lightning was as that’s now restored and inside. I’m hoping to get more involved in the resto as I’m a qualified aerospace engineer.
