Cold War reheated - RAF Tornados foil Russian spy in sky

It could have been an episode from the dark days of the Cold War.

Britain's air-defence radar system picks up a long-range Russian Bear bomber speeding towards the UK across the North Sea, apparently on a spying mission.

Within minutes, at a windswept RAF base, four airmen race to their fighter jets and roar away to intercept the intruder.

Warning: A Tornado (top) escorts one of the Bear bombers
