Notes:

At first glance this may just look like any other 41(R)Sqn Tornado, but this is the first example of an RAF aircraft trialling the Litening III Targeting Pod, produced by Israel’s Research and Development authority RAFAEL. The RAF are undertaking trials with a view to using the pod in theater in the very near future.
