In der Ilschen in Klein Heidorn is better, gets you next to the fence.

Thats the one I meant, was looking wrong at Google Maps

Today I paid Wunstorf a short visit. I saw a grey cs Tornado with no wings standing in front of Hangar1. Can anybody help me with the serial, as there seem to be 2 instructional Tornado’s at Wunstorf. Many thanks in advance!

Fyi, the following resident A400’s were seen:
03, 06, 07, 10, 11, 22, 24, 27, 30, 36, 42, 44, 45

[WR]

Did not see 03 and 44 today, but did see also 09, 19, 25, 33

43+13 is grey without serial
44+11 is camo with fake 41+11

[SWAT 11]

43+13 should be the grey one on the ramp....

44+11 was seen yesterday in the hangar behind 43+13 and should be in Marine Flieger c/s.

According to a local spotter one Tornado will be scrapped soon due to the bad state it is in.

Thanks for sharing everyone! Anyone with a log of the morning? We were there around 6am and also counted/read 16. We also logged 54+37. Not sure if we mistakenly misidentified it for 54+27, which we did read as well from another position. 54+37 shows a last flight end of May to Hannover on Radarbox. We are however lacking 54+19 in our log, which took off around 10:30am for a TdBw tour. Based on the fact it was read through its MSN makes me think it was parked at the back and serial being blocked, evenmore suggesting we missed it and had a misread of 54+37 as our 16th count.

[Lex]

We also identified 54+19 by it's MSN some hours earlier and it was the last one in that row (nearest to the hangars)

[Sjoerd]

Thanks Lex. I know 54+19 arrived back at Wünstorf around 3pm. Wat time where you there? I know some spotters where there as well around 630am. What I'm trying to rule out is that 54+37 was swapped out with 54+19 out of one of the hangars some time in the morning.
So if anyone can confirm it was there as welll early am (or confirm 54+37 is actually still at Hannover) that would help.
