The Panavia Tornado was jointly developed by the UK, West Germany and Italy in three primary versions: The Tornado IDS (Interdictor/Strike) fighter bomber
the suppression of enemy air defences Tornado ECR (Electronic Combat/Reconnaissance), and the Tornado ADV (Air Defence Variant) Interceptor. It is one of the
world’s most sophisticated and capable interdiction and attack aircraft, with a large payload, long range and high survivability. During 1984, No. 20 Squadron
re-equipped with Tornado’s GR1s at RAF Wildenrath, Germany and these remained until the unit disbanded in May 1992.
