Saab 340 Bucharest to Birmingham intercepted

Nothing much to see here; just being cautious?

This was my question too. I shudder to think of the cost of Typhoon scramble x 2 and a Voyager, though I suppose it's all good training for our Boys in Blue.

The initial intercept was done by the belgian QRA out of Florennes (two F16's). The escort was handed over to the Coningsby QRA at the FIR boundery.
