Can I draw your attention to page 224 at the link below. It covers a Class C Airprox between a Lossiemouth Tornado and a Airbus A319 in the vicinity of Inverness airport on 20th April 2012. It would appear that TCAS on the Airbus saved the day. I suppose MoD regarded the collision risk Tolerable and Alarp? Not sure what it would have done to the death rate figures had it happened.

The DG of the MAA claims that "bad luck" played a part in the Tornado collision over the Moray Firth, if the same bad luck had come into play on this occasion we would have been looking at multiple deaths in the air and on the ground.
