REQ: Tornado GR1 code CE in may 1990? (white tail)

Post by erik_kamphuis »

Hi,

I saw two 17 sq Tornados making a base attack at Twenthe at may 8th 1990. One had a white (special painting?) tail and should have been code CE. I had serial ZD789 with it in my books, but now I saw somewhere in the B.A.R. that "CE" was ZA457 those days??
Who can give me the right ID from this white tail RAFG Tornado?

grtz,
Erik Kamphuis

Found this picture on the net, ZD789/CE at Goose Bay 15-5-1990 and NO WHITE TAIL!!!!:

Does anyone know if the white tailed Tornado was another one?

I now discovered that code CE was later in 1990 worn by ZA457.

Who can help me??

Hoi Erik,

Maybe this will help a bit (?). Click on the 'history of this aircraft' pdf.

I can't imagine that "CE" had a ZAxxx serial, because Bruggen had the ZDxxx serials and Laarbruch the ZAxxx.

I noted ZD789/CE in December 89. Nor further logs...
