I have seen and heard that smaller military aviation detachments that are on operations and away from their normal hierachy and supervision
can tend toward pushing those boundaries just a little too much in trying to get a job done.
However in this case IF TRUE and I hope it isn't, it will be a crew who clearly didn't leave their spurs at home on this day and deserve everything they get. I'm sure the rest of us would feel significantly safer without morons like this who have clearly demonstrated to be capable of stupidity of the highest order to be kept out of UK airspace.
Also if they'd have bothered to go to Nutts Corner market, (10min drive from Aldergrove) that tri-colour that they wanted so much would of cost them each £10 rather then the tax payer ie you and I a small fortune, yeah nice one lads!
Seems there back to booby trapping Lynx again with pilots in need of guide dogs or higher IQ, sorry that last comments ridiculous.
