It's a Panavia Tornado.
Found a site with that picture and others from the same air show. Here is a better picture of one in the same markings. It is part of the RAF No. 5 Squadron, which switched from the English Electric Lightning to the Tornado in 1988. The squadron uses a maple leaf to commemorate their link to the Canadian Corps in World War 1.

@tom37 glad I could help! I also noticed there's another picture of a Tornado in different markings with the file name tornado.jpg but the one you posted is unkn.jpg. At least to me the maple leaf threw me off because Canada didn't use them.

@MauryMarkowitz I thought it might be a targeting pod, but looking at all the targeting pods that have ever been fitted to Tornados, none look like that. So... I know what it isn't :)

It is a Panavia Tornado F3, Number: ZG796 in RAF service.
See this link for a nicer pic.
Very hard to read the tail number in this photo, but matches well with that noted in the link, and a unique (?) livery.
