The image shows aircraft from the various Squadrons on the Unit. if your eyes are good, you will see a Tornado from 617 Sqn, they are not a Marham Sqn, I do not know why they were in the line up.
Maybe it's tribute to the 617 Sqn because "When the Squadron was reformed with the Tornado it was originally based at RAF Marham, but is now located at RAF Lossiemouth..." Wiki
I did a bit of research about this, the 617Sqn aircraft was at Marham for major servicing, 3 of the 4 hangers at the Unit are used for servicing aircraft, this is undertake by BAE and not RAF engineers.
