A low level RAF Tornado in the Yarrow Valley

I photographed this Tornado GR4 from Feuars Hill as it made a turn at Sundhope. It was always exciting to watch these frontline jets fly through the valley at almost 500mph and sometimes at 100 feet above ground level. The final Tornado low level sortie through the valley was a 2-ship on 03/12/2018 with ZA614/076 NT2724 : A low flying Tornado GR4 at Ward Law and ZA607/EB-X NT2724 : A low flying RAF Tornado. This aircraft type was withdrawn from RAF service in early 2019.
