Looking through some old files and found this shot from RAF Leuchars back in 2010,this shows a Tornado F3 departing the main runway in afterburner and full "Q" Fit as the crew are dispatched to intercept an aircraft which had ventured to close inside the UK`s territorial airspace (Pesky Russians!),you can see the 4 Skyflash missiles on the underside of the aircraft aswell as 4 other air to air missiles split 2 under each wing,i`m not going to pretend I know what they are but it would either be AIM-9 Sidewinders or Asraam I think? Anyway lots of "jelly" air and afterburners as they embarked on a sortie that would last over 3 1/2 hours
