    Tornado, in what seems to be not a naturally tenable attitude.

    The plane is a Tornado F3, a rare breed now. Here's a picture the plane at RIAT with it's nice paint scheme.

    It is indeed an RAF Tornado F3 ZE734/JU of the "Tremblers" 111(F) Squadron, RAF Leuchars.

    I expected to be let down. Strangely enough I wasn't.

    That picture will end up somewhere sometime from now captioned: 'US Navy F14 crashing' or at least 'RAF Tornado dangerously low flypast', while a debate rages as to whether it's fake or not.

    There are some remarkable pictues coming out now because of the quality and capabilites of modern digital cameras. 12 megapixels is now routine, my cheap point and shoot has that. Even my phone is 5 megpixels. That shot was obviously cropped from a wider shot hence the extreme foreshortening. This being a well known example:
