Python Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 How nice must it be to be rich? This is a genuine mint condition one of a kind Tornado being offered for sale to any private individual or company that has a bit of money. It was used as a test bed for the Harriers radar and as a result has less than 1000 hours clocked on it, around six times less than current in service GR-4's. It also has dual front and rear flight controls. It has to be sold as a static display aircraft insurance purposes, but it can easily be converted to fly again. It will also likely cost less than some super cars go for these days... http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/forget-that-old-surplus-mig-someone-needs-to-buy-this-1755644580 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Python Posted February 9, 2016 Author Posted February 9, 2016 Yeah, and imagine the running costs on this thing! Still, if I had the money, I'd pay it happily... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Harry.R Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Ah, TIARA. Wondered when she'd get sold, looks like QinetiQ have had a clear out.
streakeagle Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 I would love to have the air superiority version of the Tornado in DCS. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Python Posted February 10, 2016 Author Posted February 10, 2016 We're getting the ground pounding version (GR.1 most likely) from VEAO. I'd like an F3 also but it likely won't be a priority. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
