Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many Tornado GR4s the Royal Air Forces owns.
This question was answered on 21st February 2023
The Tornado GR4 went out of RAF service in 2019 and has been through a thorough disposal process. The RAF have retained nine as ground based training aids and gate guardians but none are airworthy and the majority of their systems have been permanently removed or inhibited to ensure long-term safety for ground instruction training or public display.
