Tornado down
 

BBC reporting Tornado down off Gairloch

BBC News - Tornado jet crew eject before aircraft crashes

Hope the crew are safe and well.

FS.

Hope both Pilot and Nav are safe and make a good recovery.

Sky News reporting they have been picked up by helicopter and on way to hospital.

Interesting, never imagined the back seater would go off on their own. :ugh:

Glad they are ok.

Under threat
 

Nice to see the under threat Lossie Tornados being supported by the under threat Coastguard service:ugh:

Hope they are OK, just as well they were fairly close to land, otherwise they might have needed SAR top cover.

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]

Nutloose

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

Well it is a cheaper way of getting rid of them than BAE and MRA4s..............

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.

Speedy recovery
 

Glad to hear the crew are both ok. Hope you have a speedy recovery from your experience.

Good news and nice timing.

Green Granite, Orgasmic :bored::bored:

Its like the bloody spelling police on here, read just don't type pllleeeeaaaassee !

Glad both got out and hope they are doing well.

FnF, and very PC too. What was wrong with 2-man crew?

Pontius

I reckon crew could have just said they didn't wish to meet the Minister.

Glad to hear they are ok:ok:, jets can be replaced, people can't.

Glad they are both OK:D

Speedy recovery to both aircrew.

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?
