BAE Systems has released a set of stunning pictures of yesterday’s Tornado fly past.
The images show the three fighter jets in the air over the Warton and Samlesbury sites.
Hundreds turned out to see the RAF’S historic fly-past, which marked the decommissioning of the plane – which was partly built in Lancashire.
Over its 40 years of service, Tornado has been in the first Gulf War, Iraq and Afghanistan.
