This Tornado was shot down by a SAM-16 AAM struck and exploded a Sidewinder missile on the aircraft during a low level ground attack mission over Ar Rumaylah air base, Iraq, on 17 January 1991. Both crew ejected but were taken prisoner and later released. Seen here at static display during SHAPE open day and wearing 14 Sqd markings.
