On 9 Aug'94, five 15sq Tornado's from RAF Lossiemouth arrived at Gilze Rijen for a squadron rotation with the locally based 314sq. On 18 Aug'94 the rotation came to an end. The squadron was disbanded on 31 Mar'17 in preparation for the retirement of the Tornado GR4 in 2019. This ZA563 was first flown as a GR1 on 15 Apr'81. It was delivered to the RAF on 10 Jul'81. Following a long career in the RAF, and modified to GR4, the aircraft was last flown on 14 June'16 and stored at Leeming. It was cannibalized and the hull was moved to Boscombe Down for destructive tests in May'17. Then scrapped.
