Perectly good comment Nutloose, it's the CREWS that train in pairs not the individuals. A Tornado crew is 2 people so a pair of crews consists of 4 people and 2 aircraft. [/pedant]

Perhaps the other of the pair in question is the second aircraft?

Witnesses said a second Tornado circled the crash scene moments after the jet went down

Nice to see the moderated comments ie just wishing the crew well rather than launching straight into judge/jury/executioner as has happened previously.
I'm sure the crew are enjoying the Nurses in Raigmore and God Speed to them and safe recovery.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
Good news and nice timing.
The crash happended during a visit to the station by Armed Forces Minister Nick Harvey.
, jets can be replaced, people can't.
Such a pity `the Minister` hadn`t been dropped off in Kinloss...by mistake...!

I note from the BBC report that a MCA Tug is on it's way to the scene at a time when the tugs are under threat. Presume this means the Tornado is beached on a sand bank then?
