Tornado Down Part 2
 
Reports of another GR4 down at Lossie. 2 ejected - hopefully safely.

If true, then what you said, hope they managed a safe MB let down.

jamier 10th Feb 2011 17:24

Where did you hear this?

TorqueOfTheDevil 10th Feb 2011 17:33

What reports?

If it is true, best wishes to the crew - who will be the first ejectees to be picked up by the Lossie SAR crew in 15 years.

jamier 10th Feb 2011 17:38

I havent heard the helicopters going up but also havent heard any jets flying about for quite a while!

vib6er 10th Feb 2011 17:59

Yep, cab airbourne lossie-no news on crew yet.

Nothing on the BBC NE Scotland website.

Where exactly did you hear about this?

F.O.D 10th Feb 2011 18:06

It is being reported on the BBC Scotland page on the stop press banner at the top of the web-page.

BBC saying "2 crew are in hospital after their Tornado jet crash landed at Lossiemouth Airfield"

just another jocky 10th Feb 2011 18:12

Ok, I can't see anything, but that could be my lack of IT skills.

Hope crew are ok.

State 1 declared late afternoon. Info has it that the aircraft is just off runway 23, half way down

BBC Report

Can confirm, Tornado crashed on landing, 2 ejected, civi and service fire service in attendance.

TheWizard 10th Feb 2011 18:22

It seems that the aircraft is sat on it's wheels on the grass beside the runway, so not a 'crash' as such.
Whatever reason the crew had for ejecting, the important thing is they are safe and well.

GrahamO 10th Feb 2011 19:39

Does anyone know if the crash sufficiently bad so as to scrap the aircraft ?

How many Tornado's do we actually have left given we have no ability to replace them ?

Speedy recovery to both crew.

How very timely and considerate of you!

GrahamO 10th Feb 2011 20:11

The crew are safe and well as has been stated so its not inconsiderate.

My point is that once they are fully recovered, are they able to go back to duties or is it another wing down for good ?

It depends how bent she is.
