Fish Strike?
I'm putting a bit of effort into the forum tonight guys. I have a few more asks, although i will make this one the last of the night, and i'll save a few more for another time, anyhow here goes...I have a good friend who was a Nav on Tornado's and he told me a legendary tale of a Tornado crew flying across a Loch some where north of the border, when a bird of prey was helping himself to a nice salmon, when the bird was rudely interupted by a Tornado and so the bird of prey dropped the fish and a million in one thing happend? the fish struck the canopy, and the board of enquiry was set up. It was concluded as a fish strike as any one heard of this tale.
Plausable. I have just missed a Golden Eagle in the glens, though it wasn't 'carrying'. The bird would presumably have been an osprey - seen them too.

I heard tales of a flying fish strike on a low flying Sea Harrier, but it didn't happen while I worked on them. Never let the truth stand in the way of a good dit!

Fish Strike ... and there was me thinking of something completely different 
OK so does that make it a Kipper 3 call ?
I believe our Courtney had a hand (chinagraph) in this little "development"
Best ...
Coff.
Hope you don't mind Pontifex ... but the opportunity to use your photo was too great to miss
Our good friend Pontifex was in the Nimrod LH seat ...

Indeed, yes, Coff. Making the mighty hunter into a true multi-role platform! The only role that didn't work out for her was AEW, but that was no reason to cut her off in her prime.
Probably Kipper 2, though.

Partially true, it was in fact a Hare and was a multiple strike
