I cant remember where I saw this think it was on the BAE website. But the RAF will retire its tornado fleet in 2019. It will be a sad day for me as the Tornado is my favourite fighter.

I remember seeing the Tornado when it was still a brand new project known as MRCA ! I was around 14 at the time and there was a presentation on at the Hendon RAF Museum! I'm now 52! Tornado is indeed a very old aircraft.
