Not the BBC, but worth a laugh. Link on the Rumours forum:
RCAF divert to Shannon
"The five F-18s were en route from Saragossa in Spain to an Air Force base in Canada and were due to refuel in mid air from a KC 130 tanker.
However, the refuelling drone on the back of the tanker failed to deploy and was unable to dock with the planes."
just gotta see that refuelling system...
