Tornado's
If it was the Tornado ADV it would look longer than the normal tornado and just a little bit wider.
It would be easily recognised a an RAF Tornado ADV as they wear very very light grey.
If it was a german Navy tornado it would be painted like above of very dark grey or sometimes grey with a hint of dark blue/green.
Why tornado's for the arrival of Rumsfeld? Would f-15e's or any other US jets from lakenheath or any other USAFE Base have done?
Id say the German Tornado's were up to practice with the Casa or maybe some low level training perhaps?:-patriot:

Training
Tornado's regularily train with the 2 Casa aircraft as a type of cat and mouse situation, it has to do with the casa's radar being so good that they try to jam it and get close enough to the casa to fire a shot at it but this has never happened as the casa has always spotted them a LONG way away.
The reason that they are Navy Tornado's training would be the fact that they operate over the sea!!! as does the casa!:-patriot::D:-patriot:
