Retired in March 2011, the Tornado F3 has served with many famous RAF Fighter Squadrons in its history with the final operational unit being 111(F) Squadron "Tremblers", based at RAF Leuchars in Fife.

Stories and anecdotes from members of the F3 Force in 188 pages full of distinctive and colourful photographs from home and abroad, many never previously published. Every RAF Squadron and unit that operated the F3 plus the Royal Saudi Air Force and Italian Air Force are covered. Exercises, operational deployments, special events and emotions are all portrayed by "F3 people" in this book with the aim of producing a fond commemoration to the aircraft and the people that flew and maintained it.
