Both crew safe and well according to reports in case anyone worrying! Lots of activity draining the fuel and guarding it until recovered I gather. Good training for someone - luckily lots of Airfield Engineers not too far away...

I always thought that the emergency landings in Morayshire were on Friday to allow for a weekend on the Whisky Trail! (The Friday afternoon "div" to Lossie by an F111 were fairly routine in the early 80s).
