Oh my goodness....news from the future.



Might want to change the topic headline there...seems misleading that its for July 9th.

I work just along the road from the crash site, made for a hell of a detour on the way home.

alot of the eye witness accounts are nonsense though, especially when they talk about the planes rarely flying so low, or that they are only "fairly" regular around these parts.

it's nearly a daily occurance to see fast jets around Loch Long and Loch Fyne, nice and low, yesterday it was Hawks, they doubled back and seemed to come in even closer for a nosey at the house we're building.
today it was tornados.

Was bad weather this morning, dense low cloud and heavy heavy rain showers

Thoughts are with the familys

Firstly condolences to the families and friends of the two airmen who lost their lives.
It goes to show that even in our hi-tech age, weather is such a dangerous factor in flying, even with a bird as sturdy and well made as the Tornado.

Rest in peace.

and be thankful.

two lives lost in training may be many more saved in combat.

The RAF has a tradition of very aggressive terrain masking low level flight, and it's risky stuff even in peacetime. They are acknowledged experts in low level tactics, and that does not come without a cost. Whatever happened probably happened way too quickly for them to eject.

Very sad for the aircrew killed and their families, it's a pity, but these guys know the risk they are taking, and died doing their duty.

Condolences to the flight crews family .

Yes it has been a long time since one has crashed.
