RAF Tornado GR4

Operation Northern Watch


Modern RAF "Roundel".


Today, the roundel appears in three formats on RAF aircraft. Attack aircraft such as Tornados and Jaguars, Chinooks, Pumas and Merlins of the Support Helicopter Force and Hercules transports carry a two-color roundel of dark blue outer circle with a red centre. Fighter aircraft (Tornado F3s and Eurofighters) and Nimrod maritime patrol aircraft carry a 'washed out' roundel of pale blue and red whilst the traditional blue, white and red roundel can still be found on VIP aircraft (BAe 125s and BAe146s of No 32 Squadron), Tristars and training aircraft.

You are correct I mislabeled the aircraft designator as F4G when it is actually GR4. Did some quick checking on the use of the modern "roundels" on RAF aircraft and added it to the text under the image. Thanks for the quality check.

These were British jets with British pilots. There were no French or German aircraft or pilots stationed with us in Turkey at that time.
