Tornado "43+00"

[AndyMarden]

Perusal of photos indicates that there are two Tornados marked as "43+00" (unless the Germans like repainting their aircraft backwards and forwards from grey to camo):

As can be seen, both are captioned as being 43+61.
Can anyone please confirm which is the real 43+61, and the identity of the second machine?
Thanks,

I can confirm the grey Tornado from 2007-2010 with the CN 4061 -> 43+61

Thanks, that's a good start.
Anyone for the camo one?

I can confirm the grey Tornado from 2007-2010 with the CN 4061 -> 43+61

Which is confirmed by one of the cockpit-pics in the link Andy mentions above (Cologne 18SEP2004), showing a callsign plate 43+61.

To make matters worse I pictured 43+00 during the ILA in 1984. That one was in green camo with JBG31-badge and in use as travelling exhibit bij "Unsere Luftwaffe". In my database I wrote c/n P11 and ex 98+01... (though I never read that off myself)

"43+00" (1) is c/n P11 really 98+01 and is now in Messtetten, still in camo
"43+00" (2) is c/n 4061 really 43+61 and is a travel exhibit, in grey c/o

This sounds familiar indeed, thanks! Is the first one at the Zollernalb Kaserne, maybe as an instructional aircraft? Not that I need it, but for completeness sake...

I have checked these Tornado's a couple of time. (c/n plate is in LH MLG wheelbay)

9801 In 1992,1994 and 1996 at ILA Berlin as "4400"
9801 In 2000 at ILA as "4300"

4361 In 2004 and 2006 at ILA Berlin as "4300"
4361 In 2008 at Fritlar air show as "4300"

9804 In 1990 at ILA Hannover as "4448"
