Re: Panavia Tornado
Tornado GR1A/GR4A
The GR1A is the reconnaissance variant used by the RAF and RSAF, fitted with the TIRRS (Tornado Infra-Red Reconnaissance System), replacing the cannon.
The RAF ordered 30 GR1As, 14 as GR1 rebuilds and 16 as new-builds.
When the Tornado GR1s were upgraded to become GR4s, GR1A aircraft were upgraded to GR4A standard.
The switch from low-level operations to medium/high-level operations means that the internal TIRRS is no longer in use.
As the GR4A's internal sensors are no longer essential, the RAF's Tactical Reconnaissance Wing operate both GR4A and GR4 aircraft.
