Vigilance can confirm that the RAF today is announcing the two Tornado squadrons which will be disbanded. They are XIII Squadron, based at Royal Air Force Marham, and 14 Squadron, based at Royal Air Force Lossiemouth. These Squadrons have been selected by the Air Force Board Standing Committee, taking into account operational commitments and the relative seniority of the Squadrons at each base. The Squadrons will be formally stood down on 1 June. The RAF will retain 5 frontline Tornado squadrons with a total fleet of 136 GR4 aircraft.
