Tornado GR.4A (ZA404 '013') of 2 Squadron

Tuesday January 31, 2012 A day in the Wales in bitterly cold weather and six inches of snow. The good forecast gave way to poor conditions resulting to no low level flying at all in LFA 7.

Thursday January 11, 2012 Arrived in low cloud and drizzle but by 09:30 conditions were perfect. It was not until 13:00 did the day get started. Two Tornados, a Lynx, a Typhoon and a Leeming Hawk which made two runs through the Cumbrian valley.
