The exact timings for the farewell flypast of the iconic Tornado fighter jet have been announced by the RAF.

The fleet returned to the UK for the final time on February 5 and will be retired in March after 40 years of service.

Launched in 1979, the jets have been used in operations across the world, including more recently in Syria and Iraq, after entering service back in 1979.

According to Staffordshire Live, fans of the jet can say a final goodbye during a farewell flypast on Tuesday, February 19, Wednesday, February 20 and Thursday, February 21.

The warplane was due to be decommissioned in 2015 after defence budget cuts, but that was postponed so it could aid the fight in the Middle East.

Defence secretary Gavin Williamson said it was "truly the end of an era" and added the jets "had played a vital role in keeping Britain and its allies safe for four decades."
