MAR reports that no more Tornado GR4 jets will fly out to
RAF Leeming to be inducted into the Return To Parts (RTP)
programme. The remaining aircraft will be stripped for
spares at RAF Marham by what nowadays seems to be named
the Tornado Servicing Team (TST). The TST will also be in
charge of preparing a number of aircraft which are allocated
for preservation. Prior to transferring to 31sq, ZA463 was
used for a brief period as Weapons Loading Trainer at RAF
Marham.
The code currently worn by ZA607 is unconfirmed. Some
reports suggest it is still coded EB-X (ex 41(TES)sq), while
others report it as 074. If anyone can confirm which code was
carried end-March 2018 or later we would gladly hear so.

Previous reports of ZJ814 being withdrawn from use and in
storage pending induction into the Return To Parts (RTP)
programme at RAF Coningsby turn out to be incorrect. The
aircraft is still very much alive and used by 29sq. Of course
this is only a delay of the inevitable since ZJ800 to ZJ815 are
all still slated to be withdrawn from use and entered into the
RTP programme.

By February 2018, ZE553/WA was transferred from GMS to
644VGS. The next month the glider moved to RAF Kirknewton
where it was taken on charge by 661VGS. Almost the same is
valid for ZE586, which transferred from 632VGS to 644VGS in
February 2018. It too was passed on to 661VGS in March 2018.
