	Tiger Meet Decal Review by Dale Smith (Yellowhammer 1/72; 1/48; 1/32)

		Not to be outdone, the RAF crews obtained colour paint from the nearest town and devised the tiger chomping on the soviet 'Red Star' as well as tiger stripes on the rudder, which has remained one of the most colourful and striking schemes ever applied to an F-4.
		Most of the RAF aircraft, were seen parked at the 'Tiger Meet' with wings folded and their refueling probes extended.

	Panavia Tornado
		The Tornado IDS is remarkably good at the mission it was designed for; low level penetration of hostile airspace.
		The Tornado's poor high altitude performance with a full bombload means it is not well suited to these new methods.
		However many would argue that the Tornado's ability to go in fast and low would be invaluable in any future conflict where, unlike Iraq in the Gulf war, the enemy retained even partial command of the air with his own fighter force.

	Airliners.net forum: F-22 Vs. Eurofighter
		That's right, the Tornado was never meant to be a fighter, the F.3 was for the specialized and specific UK AD requirement, covering a huge chunk of the Eastern Atlantic as well as the general UK air defence area.
		So the Tornado replaced German and Italian F-104Gs, RAF Vulcans, Buccaneers and Jaguars, all in the attack role, neither Germany or Italy replaced the F-4F and F-104S respectively with Tornado in the AD role.
		I understand where Keeje is coming from, but Typhoon, now entering service with RAF training units, is a state of the art aircraft, maybe not compared to the F-22, but even the USAF will never be able to afford enough of them, there is even a small chance it may yet be cancelled.
