Daily Mail: Fiasco of Britain's missing Tornados: No10 wants to send more jets to Syria...but we have '2 to 4' spare as defence expert MP reveals cuts and mothballing makes us a 'marginal' force

* Experts say that 24 Tornado ground-attack aircraft would be needed for Britain to mount an effective campaign, while maintaining missions in Iraq
* But RAF sources say that only 'two to four' jets poised to join eight-strong force already operating over IS territory from Britain's airbase in Cyprus
* Julian Lewis MP said Britain could only then make 'marginal' contribution
