    Blink and you'll miss it, but three RAF Panavia Tornados will be flying over the East Midlands today as part of a series of farewell flights this week.

    The flights will see the iconic aircraft fly past airbases in the UK, the first of which will be the former RAF Cottesmore, near Oakham, at around 13:15 today.

    The fleet, based at RAF Marham in Norfolk, will be retired from service by the end of March.
