Inside the wire — RAF Tornado farewell formation

Nine 'Mighty Fins' cutting through the Norfolk clouds - pressing on to complete their mission, just as they have over the past 37 years.

A great tribute for a great aircraft that will be greatly missed, I am very happy to say I was there to witness it. I drove down from Scotland and wouldn't have missed it for the world. Thank you to all past and present flight and ground crews for their sterling service.

I was lucky enough to be outside the wire and was able to witness this for myself ✈ This video is a great tribute. Thank you for sharing!

I worked closely with aircraft for 21 years and I so miss the photography opportunities. That final line up on the runway looked pretty darn cool.

One of the best combat aircraft the RAF has ever had

Gonna miss seeing and hearing them flying around Norfolk.

I think it's insane getting rid of these aircraft. I know they have been in service for many years but surely there is plenty of life left in their airframes?

an analogue jet in a digital age...was a fine servant for many years....and a very capable and proven aircraft.

Are they scraping them or selling them or breaking them down for parts they should always keep planes like this in storage incase of a world war.

ok they are getting on abit... but mothball them.. ok it might take a little work to get them running again but when the shit hits the fan we have spare aircraft
