"I'd been invited to RAF Marham, in Norfolk, to help the RAF's XI Squadron celebrate a rather special birthday. The Tornado bomber turned 25 on January 6"

Nice to see the accuracy of the report is of the usual standard. I would have thought XI Sqn would have celebrated the 25th anniversary of the ADV variant of the Tornado sometime during 2011.

XI vs IX

Edted to add:

XI(F) have already picked up their first few Typhoons so the 2011 party is off..
