RAF Terror Fliers
This appears to have been missed in Wednesday's Daily Mail:
"Tower Block terrorised by RAF jet
Thousands of office workers cowered in terror as a massive jet
thundered towards their tower block.
Visions of the World Trade Centre catastrophe flashed into their
minds as the Hercules swept to within 400 yards.
Now the RAF has apologised in a letter to the 3000 staff at the DVLA
centre in Swansea for the day in February they were 'buzzed' by the
C130 transporter.
They explained that the plane had veered off course during bad
weather.
A woman clerk at the centre, which processes licences for every
vehicle in Britain, said yesterday: 'It was huge and brought memories
of the pictures we saw in New York on 9/11.
'Anyone working in a high rise building is sensitive to seeing
aircraft flying close by - a lot of us were scared stiff'
An RAF spokesman said that at no time did their plane breach safety
rules"
And there was me thinking that the RAF were a professional bunch and
diverted due to bad weather, rather than veering about the countryside
