The Panavia Tornado was developed jointly by Britain, West Germany and Italy as a twin-engine, variable-sweep-wing combat aircraft. RAF Tornado GR variants became closely associated with low-level strike and reconnaissance, while the Tornado F3 served in the air-defence role.
RAF Tornados saw extensive operational service, including the 1991 Gulf War and later operations over the Balkans, Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East. JET Art Gallery’s Tornado collection features limited edition aviation prints covering different squadrons, variants and operations, with selected editions signed by Tornado pilots and aircrew.
