Friesland Scorpions by Robert Tomlin

The 2nd Squadron of Fighter-Bomber Wing 38 "Friesland" is the only squadron in Northern Germany to operate the Tornado weapon system.  Their main task is to support the Main Defence Forces (HVK) to protect Germany and its Allies. Additionally their crews train co-operation between themselves and reaction forces of NATO and the UN.

The 2nd Squadron, the youngest German Tornado squadron, was established in 1988 with the introduction of the Tornado ECR (Electronic Combat Reconnaissance) into the German Air Force.  The crews perform the service tests until the ECR achieved operational readiness.  With the changing political situation in Europe, the ECR's were transferred in 1994 to FBW 32 at Lechfield.

The Squadron then re-equipped with Tornado IDS (Interdiction and Strike) and changed its role to fighter-bombers.  At the moment the crews train in all tactical roles except nuclear.  As the German Air Force continued its re-organisation, the squadron closed in 1999.

In the foreground of this print is a Tornado IDS painted in the special colours of 2 Squadron.  Behind is the last Tornado ECR of FBW 38 "F".  They are depicted over the Westerhöven Lighthouse, a famous landmark on the coastline of the Friesian Islands of Northern Germany, an area over which the Squadron frequently flies.

End of an Era by Gerald Coulson

Entering service in 1951, the Shackleton has been seen worldwide performing anti-submarine and search and rescue duties prior to the installation of the radar necessary for the airborne early warning role in 1972 with No.8 squadron.

Phased out during1991, and superseded by the Boeing E-3 Sentries (AWACS), only six remain and are still called upon to assist for search and rescue sorties and the dubious honour of operating in the conditions depicted in this painting. After forty years of sterling service the Shackleton deserves a tribute.
