Seen on a truck in England... For some reason, they show upside down but if you click on them, they're right side up.

Looks fast 8)

Tornado F3 Interceptor.

FartyMarty wins! Charlie took a picture of this from his car one rainy day..
-
The pics are still upside down when I click em.
-
I'm using the Firefox viewer.. When looking at them in Outlook, they are upside down. File explorer shows them right side up. Strange.
-
Firefox OK, Chrome OK, Internet Explorer upside down....but then I'm still on XP so
whatever results I get don't seem to matter to anyone anymore.
But back to aircraft, regardless of photo orientation, I was really trying to make that into a scraped F111, but the engine bays
were just too close together. Besides, I imagine that the F111s are all melted down by now, even in the UK. I think I have photos of
refueling F111s, I'll need to find them and scan em' for the other thread.
I never saw a Tornado except on the internet. Good detail video for Full screen: https://youtu.be/7b2-AdZ9olI (https://youtu.be/7b2-AdZ9olI)
(well it looks good on XP ::) )

Exactly what I was thinking but while we had many FB-111s in England in the past, I rather doubted that someone was carting one of them around unless it was for a local museum. Plus the aft end didn't look quite right. If there are some left in the Bone Yard, there aren't many of them. Most of them have been scrapped by now.

There are almost 50 F 111s on display in the US, UK and Australia.
The 111 was the only aircraft in the USAF that did not have an official name while in service.

It wasn't the Aardvark?
-
Nope. It was a Tornado. F-111 has a wider rear end I think.

V'jim I don't think you are paying full attention here. Are you still imbibing from yesterday or did you start early this morning? :chugbeer: ;D
...or perhaps you just wanted to work "wider rear end" into the thread?

That's what I meant when I asked about the Aardvark name. It was in answer to the statement about the F-111 not having an official name. Not about whether or not those pictures were the F-111. I could tell that they were not of an F-111.
-
The A-10 is officially "Thunderbolt II" but of course everyone knows it as "Warthog". I didn't even think about it but have known the F-111 as "Aardvark" for as long as I can remember.
-
A10s... Because close air support covers a multitude of sins. ;D
-
Aardvark..
-
It was KNOWN as the Aardvark but wasn't NAMED Aardvark until after it was retired.
