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 28 Oct'81. It was delivered to the RAF on 4 Dec'81. Following a long career in the RAF, and modified to GR4, the aircraft was placed into storage at St. Athan and later used for trails at Millbrook Proving Ground near Bedford. Eventually stored at Leeming and scrapped by mid-2016.

Wearing dual squadron markings, ZA563 had been transferred from 617 Squadron to XV Squadron based at RAF Laarbruch. The latter's 75th Anniversary special, ZA549 sits next to it.
