Tornado GR.4

[Tony Williams]

I have been looking at some photos of the GR.4 recently and the gun
muzzles seem to have been replaced by a pair of fairings with windows
- presumably some sort of sensor or designator. Can anyone confirm
that the guns have been removed?

I believe the Tornado GR.1 have two 27mm Mauser cannons. One of them have
been removed in during the GR.4 upgrade, in favour of a FLIR(Forward Looking
Infra Red).
