I told Chad to keep his head down

and for very good reason ................

BBC NEWS | Scotland | Glasgow, Lanarkshire and West | RAF Tornado crashes on hillside

When we stopped there for a lukewarm leather burger or whatever it was we ate ??? he was the highest thing for miles around. They would have used him for bombing practice.

Not good , a beautiful place , I hope the crew ejected OK

Re: I told Chad to keep his head down

Unsure of the cause other than low flying at high speed, a lot of activity here at the camp in Lossie tonight, always the case after a plane down

As much as I curse them for flying around my flat at all hours of the night, be it the Tornados or the search and rescue sea kings, these guys have a dangerous job to do and I can only admire their guts.

Condolences to friends and families of the flight crew.

Re: I told Chad to keep his head down

It is always dangerous training for war, it is such a shame that yet another family have to go through the grieving process.
