This is from testimony given to the FAI.
The crew were under training.
Are you suggesting that if there were fast traffic in the area they would definately be maintaining under 500' AGL.
You are correct regarding the 206. It is also the case that the crew claim to have been unaware of the contact with the helicopter, despite causing it to crash.
The absence of radar returns was
consistent with local terrain masking the helicopter at its relatively low level.
Therefor FJ traffic could well have been in the area without nay record. Additionally and in particular the Tornado has in some models I believe the GR1 has a terrain following radar. As it is the normal practice of military aircraft to avoid radar they would not be recorded in the area.
