An all-weather Tornado leaves its corrugated concrete shelter at R.A.F. Honington in eastern England. The new shelters at the base can each house two Tornado aircraft and all of their servicing equipment and are designed to withstand anything other than a direct hit from a nuclear bomb. The two-seater swing-wing Tornado, which is capable of destroying an enemy aircraft 40km away, has been jointly developed by Britain, West Germany and Italy under a N.A.T.O. programme. The Tornado unit at Honington is the first operational one in Europe.
