A bad few days
That was a bad few days for the Tornado force. On the 14th August 1990, a Laarbruch GR1 collided with a GR1 from Honington, both jets crashing in the Humber. Only the pilot of the Laarbruch jet survived ejection. A couple of days later, the Marham jet crashed killing Gp Capt Green and his nav, NA - at the time, it was said that the 3 crashed aircraft were situated very near each other.
In two days I lost a colleague from Honington, (DW,the US exchange pilot), a colleague from nav training (SB), my MQ neighbour from Laarbruch (GG) and my nav instructor on LLTS at Finningley (NA)- like I said, a bad few days.
Rest in peace all.
