One more
TSR.2, belonging to MFG 1 Wing of
Marineflieger, circa 1988.
In real world, this wing had F-104G Starfighters. Total number of Starfighters owned by
Marineflieger was 112. From these about 50 were given to Royal Hellenic Navy in early to mid 1980's and replaced by
TSR.2, starting in mid 1980's. German
TSR.2 were the last new British/Australian built airframes. The MFG 1 Wing replaced its F-104G with
TSR.2 and dismantled in 1993, while MFG 2 replaced its F-104G with Tornado. When MFG 1 was dismantled in 1993, all remaining
Marineflieger TSR.2 transferred to MFG 2. This wing also dismantled in 2005. Finally all German
TSR.2 were grounded in 22 February 2014, ending the successful service of this aircraft. Luftwaffe TSR.2s fought in First Gulf War, in Afghanistan and in Operation Iraqi Freedom until 2010 when the new Federal Government decided to withdraw them. Luftwaffe took also several ex-
Marineflieger units for spares in 2000's.
