NIMRODS FUEL-LEAK FIGURES SHOCK
The Ministry of Defence confirmed yesterday that 25 fuel leaks had been reported in the six months to March 31 this year.
These latest figures will heighten concerns about the safety of the aircraft which has been in service with the RAF for more than 35 years.
Last night, Moray MSP Richard Lochhead said: "Clearly this is alarming and reinforces the anxiety of service personnel and their families who are awaiting the final conclusions of the on-going investigations into the Nimrod tragedy.

Although the RAF board of inquiry into last September's crash has still to publish its findings, a fuel leak is thought to have led to the catastrophic fire and explosion which brought down the aircraft.
