Coningsby is one of the Tornado F3 bases in the game’s reference allocation. Find EGXC on the location map, then open ASSETS to check its current aircraft.

These are reference starting figures. Training and scenario allocations can differ, and a saved watch can contain changed stocks. Use ASSETS and the airfield panel for the current situation; an aircraft count does not confirm that every fighter is ready to launch.

| Tornado F3 · default holding | 12 |
| Fuel supply | 531 tonnes |
| Missiles | 178 |

Follow the QRA launch guide to request fighters from Coningsby. ID and ENG are different tasks: read the intended task before choosing a contact. Check the response in ASMA and look for the flight in ACTIVE OPS before repeating a failed launch.
Coningsby’s base callsign pool includes BARREL, MOHAWK and CARBON. Read the full callsign, including its number, and confirm the selected flight in Flight Info. A pool entry is a way to look up the name; it is not proof of a contact’s identity.
Read Coningsby’s current fuel and weapons stocks before planning another launch. If supplies need moving from another base, follow the SUP procedure and check the delivery result. A standard fighter allocation does not provide a supply aircraft for that job.

A tonne is 1,000 kilograms. Air Defender uses t for fuel held at an airfield; this is a mass, not a volume in litres.
