Gulf War Panavia Tornado to be restored

摘要

Jet Art Aviation has taken delivery of Panavia Tornado GR.1 ZA399 after dismantling and transporting the airframe back to its site in North Yorkshire in late May. The aircraft will undergo a restoration and rebuild along with some minor cosmetic work to enhance its appearance. As a tribute to the Dambusters, the aircraft will stay in its original 617 Squadron colours and will retain the code AJ-C. The aircraft is dedicated to Plt Off Warner Ottley dfc who was killed when the Avro Lancaster he was piloting on the third wave of the dams raids was shot down over Hamm, Germany. His name is painted under the port side of the nose.
