Tornado F.3(EF.3B) ZE758 Walkaround |
| |
These walkaround pictures were taken of ZE758 at the Waddington 2003 air show. This was the first time I had seen a Tornado F.3 with ALARM anti radiation missiles for the SEAD role with the exception of photographs released by the RAF earlier that year. I concentrated my photographs on the ALARM missiles and the pylons and adapters that carry them. There is some controversy over the designation of this aircraft, is it still a Tornado F.3 or has it been re-designated the EF.3B? I believe it retains the F.3 designation, even though the pilot on the day referred to it as the EF.3B!
