I have some connections with The Fighting Cocks and had been following this story for most of the day. As time drew on I think most of us suspected that the lack of positive news could only mean one thing, but we still hoped.

GLORIA FINIS.

What bloody awful news, a tragic loss of two very special chaps. 43 will be lost without them I'm sure.

God bless chaps.

Always so so sad to hear of such a loss, esp when it is your old Sqn, and you know what it is like.

The thoughts of me and Mrs SW are with the families and the Sqn.

Gloria Finis!

Very sad news and just makes me think of Aug 87 when I was at WTM when E M and J O of 74 Sqn didn't make it home when on a LL ACT trip in Wales...... I still have happy memories of a day skiing with EM on a glacier, (in flying suit as we'd nothing else with us), at c. 12,000 ft above Cervinia whilst on an exchange to Italy with the F104's then based at Cameri.

My thoughts go to those left behind and all at Leuchars and esp to 43.

Was the wx a factor? There were no accident data recorders on the F4 but hopefully the F3 has so that the cause can be quickly determined......

The Scottish Highlands have been pounded by thunderstorms today. However, lets wait for the inquiry. As you say, the data recorder will be invaluable; lets hope it can help to stop the loss of good brave crews in future.

As an ex member of 43 Squadron from its formation with Phantoms in 1969 until 1974 it's a sad end to an era

RIP

Saw you guys today as you headed westbound along a loch. Looked good & was great to see you.

Sorry it didn't work out.
Deepest sympathy to those left behind.
